Default Who makes the current line up of cap badges?

I know Gaunt and Firmin used to but do they still and who else, if anyone, does?

J R Gaunt and Son was bought by Firmin and Sons in 1991 and remains part of Firmin and Sons Ltd today. Gaunt finished production in its own right in 1993.

Firmin had an exclusive contract from 2010 to at least 2014, whether they are still supplying or who is the current sole contractor or if there are currently more contractors I don't know.

Rgds, Thomas
