VT contract extensions worth £250m

LONDON (ShareCast) - VT Group (LSE: VTG.L - news) will pocket £250m after the defence firm agreed an extension to a couple of government
support contracts.

An option has been exercised to extend VT's engineering and communications framework contract with a government agency by five-years to 2015.

Training and soft facilities management support agreements with the Royal Navy, run by VT's Flagship training business, will also keep going, extended from June 2011 to December 2011 and April 2013 respectively.
