[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 8221P Plexus Holdings Plc 07 October 2013 \n \n\n \nPlexus Holdings PLC / Index: AIM / Epic: POS / Sector: Oil equipment & services\n7 October 2013\nPlexus Holdings PLC ('Plexus' or 'the Company')\nAdditional HPHT Order from Centrica Energi Norway\n \nPlexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, known for its safety, time and cost saving capabilities, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract for the supply of surface exploration wellhead equipment services, worth approximately £750,000 from Centrica Energi Norway, ('Centrica'), a leading oil and gas company.
