Notes to Editor:

Launched in 1993, the company began as Toad plc and was focused on the distribution of in-car entertainment systems and vehicle security products.  Under the stewardship of Chairman Peter Ward, former Chairman and CEO of Rolls Royce Motors and Cunard Line, who joined the board at the end of 2001, TG21's strategy has been to reposition itself away from its legacy businesses into markets with better growth potential while leveraging its core strengths - nationwide field force of vehicle electrical engineers, call centre and distribution facilities. 

In line with this strategy, in 2005 the company took a controlling stake in 21st Century Crime Prevention Services Ltd ('21st Century'), the preferred supplier of on-board CCTV systems for Arriva UK Bus. 21st Century has pioneered the use of WiFi with on-board CCTV systems and was the first company to successfully launch automatic video downloads and a bus CCTV monitoring system (HeartbeatTM).  

21st Century's new EcoManager product has also contributed significantly to the recent increase in revenue in the Group's Public Transport Solutions division. The EcoManager system, which  incorporates a passenger counting facility, is aimed at reducing fuel costs, improving safety and enhancing revenues for bus operators by monitoring driving styles against fuel consumption.
