The four businesses in the deal are Lex Transfleet, Lex Defense, Lex Defense Management and RAC Software Solutions. The operations include contracts with the MoD in ships and aircraft. Other work secured in the deal includes a new contract with the Metropolitan Police for the management and repair of around 3,600 vehicles. (Source: Norfolk Eastern Daily Press)
