Restore seals £140m contract with HMRC

(Sharecast News) - Shares in document management firm Restore surged on Wednesday after the company announced a £140m contract with with HMRC. The contract, which spans a duration of five to seven years, is expected to kick off this month.

Restore will take on responsibility for three service towers on behalf of HMRC: outbound print and messaging, inbound mailroom and scanning services (the latter two Restore already provides under its existing with HMRC).

"Within this service, Restore will deliver a communications platform, working with its strategic partners, aimed at moving HMRC's customers to digital communications," the company said in a statement.
