Straight signs contract with YPO

Straight has secured a position on a four-year framework agreement for its Steelybin range with YPO, which is based in Wakefield.

The framework is estimated to be worth £8m between the two contractors selected and is intended to lead to significant cost savings for local authorities and public sector organisations.

The framework makes the Steelybin range available to the YPO’s customer base for the first time.

YPO customers include local authorities, schools, colleges and universities as well as all major local government departments.

Jonathan Straight, the chief executive at Straight, said: “We are delighted to announce that the YPO has selected our Steelybin range creating an exciting new avenue of potential new customers for these products.

“The fact that the quality and supply chain evaluations have passed YPO’s exacting standards is a testimony to the focused investment we have made in this area.”
