Broxap’s cycle parking products are not just about functionality, they’re designed to reimagine outdoor spaces, creating safe and secure environments where more people can relish the benefits of outdoor time, embrace active travel opportunities, and form connections within their community.  Examples include fitting Sheffield Cycle Stands at a retail park in Canvey Island Essex to encourage shoppers to be more eco-friendly, and the Sheffield Cycle Rack for the Royal Marine’s Commando Training Centre in Devon designed for easy accessibility and optimised space.

Their diverse clientele spans across key sectors, including transport, healthcare, hospitality and leisure, public services, and education, all across the UK. They have supplied products and services to illustrious events and clients such as QVM monument outside Buckingham Palace, London 2012 Olympic Games, 2013 Commonwealth Games and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships, as well as transport initiatives such as TfL (Transport for London) and TfGM (Transport for Greater Manchester) and Training Operating Companies (TOCs). 

John Boyle, Managing Director at Broxap, said “Cycle security, end user experience and confidence is primary to us. We’re delighted that our most popular cycle parking products have been awarded the Secured by Design accreditation in acknowledgment of the certification from Sold Secure, as the UK’s premier test house for security products.” 

Hazel Goss, SBD, said, “It has been a pleasure to have Broxap join us as members of Secured by Design. They offer a wide range of bicycle security products including the Sheffield Stand, Easi Riser, and ECO 2 Tier, looking forward to working alongside them for many more years to come and watching their products develop.”
