A Scarborough signmaking firm has won a massive contract from an international risk management organisation.

Forge The Signmakers has won the task of creating a new brand identity for the Willis Corroon Group for all 400 of its offices in 41 countries under one brand identity - Willis.

The value of the contract has not yet been disclosed, but new branding will represent the group's entire commercial offering from risk consultancy to solving problems arising from risk, as well as conventional insurance transactions.

The deal, authorised by Peter Stevens, director of corporate communications for Willis, includes new external signs and fascias to a reception and a counter refit project at the Willis Group head office in a grade two listed building in London.

Steve Martin, Forge sales and marketing director, said: "Willis Corroon Group is a massive organisation which is taking the issue of corporate identity very seriously. This sort of project represents good business for us."
