BSFG Year in Review 2025

2025 has been a landmark year for Bailey Street Furniture Group (BSFG). From delivering some of our most technically ambitious projects to expanding our product portfolio, strengthening partnerships, and supporting communities across the UK and beyond, this year has showcased the breadth, adaptability and expertise of our team like never before.

From huge bespoke canopies and complex cantilevered structures to tiered seating and trusted standard street furniture ranges, 2025 has demonstrated BSFG’s ability to respond to projects of every scale — without ever compromising on quality or design intent.

Expanding Our Portfolio Through Collaboration

Throughout 2025, collaboration has been central to how BSFG delivers future-focused public realm solutions. This approach is clearly demonstrated at The Leather Market in London, where a courtyard furniture scheme combines partner products with BSFG’s own in-house ranges to create a cohesive and functional shared space.

The project marks one of BSFG’s first major UK installations featuring products from our partner HITSA, showcasing how our expanding partner portfolio can be successfully applied within the UK public realm and commercial market. A key feature is the Link Picnic Set by HITSA, whose distinctive zigzag profile introduces rhythm and movement into the courtyard. Its angled design provides generous seating capacity while naturally encouraging interaction, making it well suited to informal meetings, breakout sessions and shared lunch spaces.

The scheme also incorporates vibrant Loop products from Out-sider, alongside BSFG’s own Greengate benches and tables — a reliable and versatile in-house range used across a wide variety of public realm environments. Together, this considered mix of products demonstrates BSFG’s ability to deliver high-quality, well-balanced solutions tailored to the needs and character of each site.

Being part of CROWD, North West Europe’s leading street furniture and cycling infrastructure group, further strengthens this collaborative approach. CROWD brings together six forward-thinking companies, and over the year ahead this partnership will play an increasingly important role in BSFG’s offering. By introducing more industry-leading products from across the CROWD portfolio to the UK market, BSFG is uniquely positioned to deliver a broader, more innovative range of street furniture and cycle parking solutions — setting us apart from other UK specialists.

Supporting Regeneration Through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund

Throughout 2025, BSFG products played a key role in helping local authorities maximise the opportunities presented by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). Designed for fast lead times and simple installation, our solutions enabled projects to be delivered efficiently while still achieving high-quality public realm outcomes.

Notable UKSPF-supported projects included improvements to the Withington Public Realm, which featured the UK’s first installation of our partner Metalco’s iconic, leaf-inspired Atollo tiered bench. We also supported the creation of a new public park space at Gorton Market, incorporating playful bespoke furniture that references the site’s local heritage.

These projects highlight how street furniture can do more than simply provide places to sit — it can help define spaces, tell stories and create engaging environments that revitalise communities.

Enhancing Green Spaces and Public Life

As the warmer months arrived, BSFG products helped shape welcoming green spaces designed for everyday use. In Manchester, Ancoats Green Park was enhanced with our litterbins and bollards, supporting a clean, well-managed urban environment.
In Leeds, a variety of BSFG seating solutions were installed at Aire Park, contributing to an exciting new city-centre green space and reinforcing the importance of well-designed furniture in placemaking.

Looking ahead, we will be launching new products in 2026 to further support public realm and green space projects, including solar compacting litter bins and modular seating systems, ensuring BSFG remains at the forefront of street furniture design and specification.

Engineering Expertise: Shelter and Structural Innovation

Providing shelter continues to be a core part of BSFG’s offering, and 2025 saw the delivery of several technically demanding structures. Chief among these was the large cantilevered canopy at Panattoni Park in Swindon, a major bespoke engineering project that demonstrates the adaptability and technical expertise of our team.

More recently, we completed the entrance canopy at the Vernon Stockton Centre in Delamere, delivering a striking yet functional architectural feature.

Our reach extended well beyond the UK with the delivery of a jetty waiting shelter for the Falkland Islands, engineered to withstand extreme environmental conditions while providing safe, durable shelter for users.

Supporting Active Travel and Cycle Infrastructure

Cycle parking remained a major focus throughout 2025, with BSFG delivering solutions that support sustainable transport and high-capacity urban environments. Projects included new cycle racks at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium, improving access for visitors and staff.
At Oxford Brookes University, two substantial large timber clad cycle hubs were completed, filled with Easylift cycle racks to maximise capacity and improve user experience.
And at Dalton Park, we continued our ongoing work with the addition of new cycle facilities, including extra-secure Streetpods.

In 2026, BSFG will be launching a new range of cycle parking products, from modular cycle shelter systems to two-tier cycle lockers — giving clients even greater access to high-quality solutions that make a tangible impact on public spaces.

Sharing Knowledge: Accessibility-Focused CPD

This year also saw the successful launch of our new CPD, “Maximising Accessibility in Outdoor Spaces.” The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with monthly sessions fully booked.

Building on this success, we plan to expand our CPD offering in 2026, continuing to support clients and share knowledge that helps deliver effective, inclusive public spaces.

Looking Ahead: Improving the Customer Experience

Behind the scenes, 2025 has been a year of investment and preparation. We have been developing a new BSFG website, designed to streamline the customer experience and bring all BSFG solutions together under one roof. We’re excited to share more about this in the new year.

This is complemented by the introduction of a new operational team dedicated to customer support, working directly with clients to ensure projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently and with clear, reassuring communication. Our goal is simple: a seamless, hassle-free, one-stop shop for our customers.

Giving Back: Supporting The Salvation Army

To close the year, the BSFG team was proud to support The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal, coming together to collect an incredible number of toys and gifts for children and adults who might otherwise go without this Christmas.

We are immensely grateful to The Salvation Army in Macclesfield for the vital work they do within our communities, and we’re humbled to play even a small part in supporting their remarkable efforts.

Looking Forward

2025 has been a year of growth, innovation and meaningful impact for BSFG. As we move into 2026, we remain committed to delivering thoughtfully designed, high-quality solutions that shape better public spaces and stronger communities.
