Russell Roof Tiles triumphs with major MoD contract

Leading pitched roof tile manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has continued its successful support for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) winning a project to supply tiles for a £1m redevelopment in the South.

The project is the latest in a long line of MoD contracts that Russell Roof Tiles has secured.
