SG officially unveiled its new identity at Highways UK 2026, bringing the expertise and capabilities formerly operating as Solar Gates, MVIS and P&D Specialist Services together under one name. The launch was accompanied by three additions to SG’s offering: VMS-P, ECO-GEN HVO and an end-to-end EV charging service – alongside live demonstrations of integrated technologies.
Neil Sampson, CEO, commented: “All of those skill sets already existed in three different places. What we’ve done is bring them together, so our customers can draw on all of that expertise through a single team.”
New product launches and integrated demonstrations highlight SG’s combined capabilities across traffic management, incursion control, monitoring and off-grid power.
Held at the NEC Birmingham on 14-15 October, the event gave visitors their first opportunity to explore the SG offering in one place, with specialists on hand across traffic management, incursion control, monitoring, visual messaging and power infrastructure. The shared stand demonstrated how these capabilities can be coordinated to support projects requiring multiple disciplines.
For customers managing multi-disciplinary schemes, the combined offering provides access to traffic signals, incursion control, variable message signs, CCTV, monitoring and off-grid power through a single business. Rather than coordinating several suppliers, customers can work with one team to plan complementary equipment, reduce handovers and simplify the management of projects from specification through to delivery and ongoing support.
Customers will continue to work with the people they know, accessing the same trusted products, expertise and standards of service. Through SG, those established relationships are now supported by a wider range of specialist capabilities, with teams working more closely together when projects require multiple disciplines.
For the first time, Highways UK visitors could explore SG’s full range in one space, with live demonstrations and specialists across different disciplines available to discuss individual products and wider project requirements.
Anna Blake, SG Commercial Director, added: “What doesn’t change is the level of service, the expertise. We’ve got people who really know what they’re talking about, and that still stays.”
One example of the closer collaboration was the integration of INSTABOOM incursion control with Berlex portable traffic signals, demonstrated at the exhibition. The integration brings together established technologies to support safer, more coordinated traffic management, with opportunities to reduce the number of separate systems required on site.
