Cambria said the contract win is a great boost for the company as it continues its drive to expand its workforce to 100 by 2008, consolidating its position as one of the largest private sector employers in mid-Wales.

British Gas said it was particularly impressed by the company's environmental credentials.
Over recent years, Cambrian Printers has devised and implemented an environmentally-friendly business strategy.

Robert Read, chairman of Cambrian Printers, explained: "An environmentally-friendly business strategy is absolutely critical and ours is proving to be a unique selling point.
For example, in ensuring that all the money from our energy bills is ploughed straight in to developing renewable energy sources, such as wave power, wind power and solar power, our clients know that they're dealing with a highly responsible, environmentally-aware company." He added: "We've been at the forefront of the printing industry for over 145 years now and this is one of our most prestigious business wins.
It's great to see our business strategy paying dividends and we're delighted to have British Gas on board." Mark Bugler, operational standards manager at British Gas, said: "Cambrian Printers is at the forefront of environmentally sustainable business practice.
With vast printing experience and a reputation as one of the UK's most professional and efficient printers we're really looking forward to working with the company.".
