RBLI firm wins contract to supply railway signs


WORKERS at Aylesford-based Royal British Legion Industries have secured a multi-million pound contract with Network Rail.


Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, a division of RBLI, will become the sole provider of line- side signs for the railway com- pany. The charity employs 120 people,


most of whom are British armed forces veterans and people with disabilities. Sixteen people produce up to


40,000 signs a year for a variety of locations, including roads, councils and businesses. The announcement came just

A DITTON schoolgirl has launched herself on an acting career with a part in Dr Who. Kishaina Palani, who played


aVictorian urchin, spent several days in Cardiff filming series 10 of the BBC show and met the Doctor, alias Peter Capaldi. Her mum Chitra said: “She


had to wake up at six in the morning, but she loved being there. She felt very privileged to have been chosen and is look- ing forward to more acting. “When she saw her face on the screen, she didn’t blink at


all, shewatched with a smile.” Kishaina (11) is in her last


year at Ditton Primary School and will move to Invicta Gram- mar School in September. She auditioned for the part through attending the Theatre- train stage school in Bexley. Chitra said: “She used to be a


shy girl and I thought drama would be good for her. She overcame her stage fright and it has helped her confidence.” Kishaina’s seven-year-old sis-


ter Shavianna also goes to the drama school.


calm and safe – and to be part of that is brilliant. I come to work with a smile – I never did that when I was doing any other job, which says it all, really.” Director of BBMC, Geoff Street-


ley, said itwas important to recog- nise the benefits in purchasing for social enterprises. He said: “As we are solely a not- for-profit enterprise, any surplus we make is re-invested back into the company to give ex-service personnel and people with disabil- ities the opportunity to find sus- tained and rewarding employment – whether that is directly through BBMC or through the various em- ployment services we offer at RBLI. “We are appreciative of Network


Rail for recognising the knowl- edge, technical ability and the hard-working attitude of a com- mercially successful group of peo- ple who can be too often pushed aside in the world of work.”
