Environmental Sustainability at the Briggs Equipment North West 200

BauWatch, Europe’s leading provider of intelligent site security solutions, is proud to support the iconic North West 200, working in partnership with title sponsor Briggs Equipment and trusted local provider Balloo Hire to deliver vital security infrastructure at one of the UK’s most renowned motorsport events.

Held annually along the spectacular Causeway Coast, the North West 200 attracts over 100,000 spectators and showcases the world’s elite road racing talent. This year, BauWatch is on the ground, deploying advanced surveillance systems to safeguard fan zones, paddocks, and key perimeter areas—helping ensure a smooth, secure experience for all attendees.

Smart, Sustainable Security for High-Profile Events

As part of its continued collaboration across the Briggs Equipment Group, BauWatch has brought its industry-leading technology to the North West 200 through two flagship solutions:

• BauWatch GreenLight: A highly visible, AI-powered surveillance unit that helps detect and deter incidents before they happen—minimising risk and maximising event safety.
• BauWatch Solar: A fully CO₂-neutral alternative to the GreenLight system, ideal for off-grid or remote locations such as paddocks and event boundaries.

Both systems are connected to BauWatch’s fully certified in-house Alarm Receiving Centre, providing 24/7 monitoring and rapid response capability throughout the event.

Tom Knocker, Head of Sales – NI & ROI, BauWatch said,

“Our ongoing work across the wider Briggs Group gives us unique insight into the demands of large-scale operations and event logistics. Working alongside Briggs Equipment and Balloo Hire at the North West 200 is a natural extension of that partnership—and a great example of how collaboration drives better safety outcomes.”

Ahead of race day, professional riders Josh Brookes and Ian Hutchinson had the opportunity to visit the BauWatch installations and see first-hand how the systems help secure high-traffic areas and protect both people and assets.

Stephen Marshall, Group Strategic Development Manager, Balloo Hire added,

“Security is a crucial part of any major event, and it’s reassuring to know BauWatch has it covered. Their experience with the Briggs Group and proactive approach made them the ideal partner for this year’s event.”

BauWatch continues to support the Briggs Equipment Group across a range of projects and sectors - demonstrating its leadership in intelligent, scalable site security solutions.
