Do you mean for routing out the letters on a sign?

are you using a template or free hand?
freehand then axminster, wealdon heck even screwfix do 45 degree vee bits.
if your using a template then it depends on if it's designed for use with a bush in the router base or a bearing follower.
I've not seen a vee grooved pattern bit in the UK.

Weldon if you can wait a day or two for delivery (they are usually pretty quick)
If you need something off the shelf, screw fix or toolstation have some. even silverline crap won't wear out in the time it takes to replace it with a decent Weldon one.

Or just teach yourself to do it by hand with a V chisel, a morning's practising for this.

not sure what you are looking for exactly, v bits and flat bottomed bits are both commonplace so it is just a question of how much you want to spend
the signs here seem to be mostly done using flat bottom bits, that is what I was thinking Custom Wood Signs - Wooden House Signs - House Name Signs

As an overseas customer, if you're looking for (electric) router bits then IME you can't go wrong with Wealden. Excellent service, though caution, I have not used them at all this year, so have no idea to what extent - if any - they're affected by Covid.
A short pause and I'll come back and post the link as a P.S. here
P.S. www.wealdentool.co
BTW, they have a HUGE range, loads for shank sizes and all manner of shapes & sizes. Have a look at their on-line catalogues. Highly recommended - usual disclaimers.
