The UK solar safety and security solutions firm announces a new name and expanded offerings.
Solar Gates UK, the solar safety and security company serving construction, highways, and infrastructure sectors across the UK, today announced it is rebranding as SG. The new name takes effect immediately, supported by a refreshed website at the company’s existing web address.
The rebrand is a natural reflection of how far the business has come. Over the years, SG has grown well beyond its origins, evolving from a solar gate specialist, then creators of the market leading SOSEC and INSTABOOM solar barriers into a company delivering a wide-ranging portfolio of safety and infrastructure solutions. The name Solar Gates, while part of the company’s story, no longer captures the full picture of what the business has become.
SG now offers a bold and growing suite of solutions across construction, highways, and infrastructure, including the solar-powered safety and security barriers (SOSEC), Berlex traffic signals, EV charging infrastructure, Variable Message Signs (VMS), and air quality monitors, alongside the broader service capabilities of the Torquay Group.
Anna Blake Commercial Director at SG says “Solar Gates built something real, a trusted team, strong relationships, and solutions that perform in some of the toughest environments in the industry. SG is the natural next step. Over time, we’ve grown far beyond what the original name suggested, and this rebrand reflects the business we’ve already become.”
At the heart of that statement are four values that SG has always lived by: innovative, passionate, capable, and compassionate. These aren't aspirations — they are commitments, visible in every project delivered, every partnership formed, and every client relationship maintained. The rebrand changes nothing about that.
Equally unchanged is SG's commitment to social value. The company's ethos, doing business in a way that is good for people, communities, and the environment, remains central to every decision it makes. As SG grows, that commitment grows with it.
The refreshed website reflects the same philosophy as the rebrand itself: cleaner, clearer, and built to help specifiers, contractors, and procurement teams understand the full scope of what SG can offer.
Neil Sampson, CEO, Torquay Group outlines the strategic move saying “The challenges facing infrastructure and construction projects are becoming more complex, from safety and sustainability to technology and operational efficiency. SG has evolved to meet those demands. With a broader solutions offering together with Torquay Group companies, stronger partnerships, and a team focused on solving real problems for customers, this rebrand reflects both where the business is today and where it’s heading next.”
