pleased to announce a 2-year contract from Transport for West
Midlands ("TfWM"), the transport arm of West Midlands Combined

"We are delighted that TfWM have chosen 21(st) Century to provide
service, support, and upgrade of their in-shelter passenger

manufacturers of the core technologies, including the screens and

high-quality service".
Gary Leek, Principle Information Integrity Officer for Transport
for West Midlands said: "We were impressed by the attention to
detail that 21(st) Century applied during an audit of our display
screen estate. We are very much looking forward to building on the
existing relationship with 21(st) Century as one of our trusted
technology and service partners as we move towards Mobility as a
Service (MaaS) public transport provision."
