About Us


Founded in 1998 and based in Aberkenfig, Bridgend, Backwatch Safety Products Ltd is a leading UK provider of vehicle safety technology, helping commercial fleets operate more safely and efficiently. The company specialises in the design, supply and installation of advanced vehicle safety systems that protect drivers, pedestrians and road users, while helping operators meet essential compliance and insurance requirements.

Backwatch offers a complete range of safety solutions including radar-based obstacle detection systems, multi-camera DVR setups, reversing alarms, proximity sensors, and vehicle tracking systems. Each product is designed to reduce risk, prevent collisions, and provide vital protection against false claims. Their systems are trusted by fleet managers, local authorities, logistics companies and construction operators across the UK.

What sets Backwatch apart is its commitment to personal service and nationwide coverage. The company provides professional installation by experienced auto-electrical engineers anywhere in the UK, including evenings and weekends at no extra cost. This flexibility ensures that clients can have safety systems fitted with minimal disruption to their operations.

Backwatch operates as a true partner rather than just a supplier. Their team works closely with every customer to understand the specific risks and compliance challenges they face, tailoring solutions that deliver both operational efficiency and long-term safety benefits. All equipment comes with a comprehensive two-year warranty, and ongoing technical support is provided to ensure lasting reliability.

By combining cutting-edge safety hardware with expert installation and dedicated aftercare, Backwatch enables commercial operators to stay compliant with regulations such as the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and Progressive Safe Systems (PSS). The company’s mission is to make roads and worksites safer for everyone by preventing accidents before they happen.

From single vehicles to large national fleets, Backwatch Safety Products Ltd delivers dependable, high-quality safety systems that give operators complete confidence in their vehicles, their drivers, and their duty of care.
