Significant events

• “This has been a record year in terms of sales, achieving over £80m in sales is a significant milestone for the Group.”
• “Phase 2 of the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) ensured that all Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) entering London must have at a minimum of 3-star rating or that a Progressive Safe System (PSS) had been fitted to obtain a safety permit. The legislation was applicable from October 2024. Brigade had secured exclusivity on a dual headed radar system which met the requirements of PSS and was being configured for the side and front of the vehicle. Sales of this product in the UK were around £9m, helping the UK go from £18.8m in 2024 to £27m in 2025.”
• “The Group has decided to restructure its EU operations, merging and consolidating all EU operations into a single EU entity. This will mean that the Group will have one single warehouse operation within the EU to help reduce complexity within the supply chain and improve stock availability for our EU customers.”
• “On 3rd September 2024 an announcement was made to the global business about the restructure of the EU business. Following this announcement groups of employees were contacted to advise that they would be at risk of redundancy.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
