Award Recipients

Winning the King’s Award for Enterprise in 2024 marked a major milestone in Brigade Electronics’ journey. For nearly 50 years, we have worked to make commercial vehicles safer and move closer to Vision Zero’s goal of eliminating traffic-related deaths and injuries. Achieving the award for a second time reflects our ongoing commitment to making roads and worksites safer.

Our story began with one man’s vision; Chris Hanson-Abbott, OBE, imagined a world with fewer collisions and safer vehicles. His passion and determination laid the foundation for Brigade Electronics. Today, we are a globally renowned leader in commercial vehicle safety technology. This prestigious award celebrates our success and gives us a platform to share our mission of saving lives on and off the road.

A Moment to Celebrate
The King’s Award presentation was a proud moment for everyone at Brigade. We welcomed the Lord-Lieutenant, Lady Colgrain, who presented us with the award. It was a chance to reflect on our achievements and recognise the dedication driving us forward. Celebrating together as a team reminded us of how far we’ve come.

Resilience and Growth
Looking back on 2024, it was a year of stability, with consistent sales growth compared to the previous year. Our strength lies in our global reach and ability to adapt to change.

One of our most remarkable achievements was in the UK, where sales soared by 44%. This was driven partly by London’s Direct Vision Standard. Winning the King’s Award also played a key role – it raised our profile and reassured customers that Brigade is always ready to deliver innovative safety solutions.

Looking Ahead
The King’s Award is more than recognition of our past success. It has reinforced our drive to keep innovating and proves our commitment and the passion of our people for making roads safer worldwide. We are proud of our achievements, but we know there’s more to do.

As we look to the future, everyone at Brigade Electronics remains determined to make Vision Zero a reality, one safety solution at a time.
