We're very pleased to say that we now have Brompton Bike Hire docks at both Sheriffhall Park and Ride in Midlothian and Kenilworth Station in the West Midlands. For just £5 you can hire a Brompton Bike and ride it into the city or take it with you on the train - the ultimate in multi-modal transport. Cllr Cassidy said: “As a keen cyclist myself, I think this is a great idea. Sheriffhall Park & Ride is an ideal location for commuters who might want to do the final part of their journey on two wheels. It’s also really easy to get onto numerous cycle paths from the park and ride for people to explore the area off road." https://lnkd.in/dhYJpMhh Cllr Jan Matecki, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: "We are thrilled to have secured this funding for the 'Unfolding Kenilworth' project. The introduction of Brompton Bike Hire at Kenilworth Station will not only enhance the connectivity of the area but also encourage healthier and more sustainable travel options for residents and visitors alike. This pilot project reflects our commitment to supporting active travel and reducing car dependency, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the community." https://lnkd.in/dVfnHjCh It's great to see so many council's supporting active travel and encouraging more and more people to cycle. You can find out more about how the bike hire scheme works online and let us know if you've used it in your journey in the comments. https://lnkd.in/dJxFuSfu

Icons in Quilting: Celebrating 30 Years of Barbour’s Liddesdale Jacket. We’re thrilled to have been part of Barbour's recent Icons in Quilting Pop-Up in Covent Garden, which celebrated three decades of their iconic Liddesdale quilted jacket.

From the 8th to 19th November, you can bid on 12 bespoke, Re-loved Liddesdale jackets, re-imagined by a star-studded lineup including Paul Smith, David Gandy, GANNI, and Ben Fogle.

Today marks the start of Recycle Week in the UK and has given us the opportunity to reflect. Earlier this year, we made our first bikes with the world’s first 100% fully recycled aluminium wheel rims in partnership with Norsk Hydro , the first of which was showcased at our Brompton World Championships in London. This ground-breaking innovation is a major step towards our net zero commitment, where we work to blend cutting-edge technology with our mission to create a more sustainable future. So what else are we doing to help with our green credentials? In 2023 we reduced our metal scrap rate and continued to operate a powder-coating paint process that reuses paint from one frame to another and recycled 62% of waste at Greenford. Our brazing process is naturally water intensive so to reduce waste, we’ve invested in a water recycling system to reduce waste and pollution. There is always more to do in the future but we’re proud to be B Corp and continue to focus on making it possible to ride greener, further and with purpose.

It was great to host the team from 'Let's Go Southall' this morning in our factory. After bringing in their Brompton bikes for a service, they were taken on a factory tour before their mechanics worked alongside our Brompton team to learn more about the nuances of our folding bikes and how to fix them. It's great to work alongside initiatives that match our business values - namely a belief in cities designed for people. For us, active travel and green space are at the top of our minds because they increase the well-being of people and the planet. Go Southall are working hard in the local community to encourage members to not only ride bikes but use them for commuting and feel safe and confident on the road. https://lnkd.in/epE-jdze Keep up the good work!

🚴♀️ Pedalling Towards Success, Together! 🚴♂️   At Brompton, we believe that teamwork goes beyond the office walls, and our colleagues recently took part in an exciting company cycling trip around Avignon in Provence, France! 🌳🚴♂️🚴♀️   Not only did we conquer new trails and climb a LITERAL mountain on our tiny but mighty bikes (not your vibe? Some of us did stay behind to do a wine tasting in Chateauneuf du Pape, and entertain a few gentler jaunts around the beautiful Provencal countryside!) but we also built stronger connections and fuelled our collective passion for wellness, sustainability, and fun. 💪   It's moments like these that remind us why Brompton is a great place to grow your career: a supportive, active, and vibrant community where collaboration extends from projects to pedals.

Congratulations Will Butler-Adams OBE CEng FRGS FCGI FIMechE on your Royal Academy of Engineering fellowship

Today, we unveil our biggest innovation in 50 years, our first ever 20" folding bike, the G Line. In 1975, Brompton inventor Andrew Ritchie created a new type of movement with the bike that folds down small – transforming how people move in and around cities across the globe. Fifty years after the most compact folding bike took to the streets, we've rewritten the rules again with the G Line, which offers the feel and ride of a ‘big wheel’ bike, while maintaining the convenience and versatility of our signature fold. Delivering comfort through an entirely new frame, all-new 20” wheels, and Schwalbe custom made for Brompton, tubeless-ready tyres to enhance the capability of the bike, the G Line is our latest engineering feat – creating a confident and balanced feel, all with the ease of its iconic foldable design.
