Major contract win with First Rate Exchange Services

MediaZest plc (AIM: MDZ), the creative audio-visual solutions provider, announces it has signed a significant new contract with First Rate Exchange Services Limited (‘First Rate’) to provide digital currency boards installations for First Rate’s clients. This will include deployments across approximately 1,200 locations in the UK representing a significant investment by First Rate in its business over the next 5 years, predominantly delivered in the next 24 months.
