Ideas & Solutions

Hi-viz vest / magnets 

If you are interested in producing your own TACS branded hi-viz jackets we can provide you with the instructions on the use of the iron on transfers you need. Just email talking.tacs@dhl.com.

Likewise if you would like to produce magnetic vehicle decals with the TACS logo, please get in contact and we can supply details. You will need to source the signs locally – your engineering department may be able to help.

Please note all costs of such materials will have to be met from local budgets, with the agreement of the manager responsible, and cannot be met by the Foundation.
