TagEvac Ltd

What TagEvac Ltd does

TagEvac Ltd is a privately-held UK company, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Merton, Devon, that sells a low-tech emergency evacuation system to large organizations. The core product, the TagEvac® Evacuation System, uses color-coded physical tags, zone planning harmonized to building layouts, and intuitive information panels to enable fast, organized building evacuations without requiring technological dependencies; the system also provides incident controllers and emergency services with real-time visibility of cleared areas. The company emphasizes modular hardware, all-UK design and manufacture, and an intrinsically safe, low-tech approach that contrasts with electronic evacuation alternatives.

The company's customer base is concentrated in large enterprises and public-sector bodies across the UK, with named installations at Lloyd's of London (since 2014), Siemens Gamesa (since 2019), GSK, Unilever, Coca-Cola, BAE Systems, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, UBS, Schroder, Illumina, Kew Gardens, the O2 Arena, and the National Archives, among others. TagEvac also operates an Online Training Platform that delivers approximately 20-minute web-based evacuation courses managed by organization-level administrators, providing a recurring subscription revenue line alongside the one-time hardware sale.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time sales of evacuation hardware, recurring subscriptions to online training, and professional services for consultation, desktop support, and installation planning. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with quote-based, multi-year contracts; lead generation runs through ten industry-specific landing pages, case studies, customer-logo trust signals, and free-consultation offers. The company holds a registered TagEvac® trademark and Cyber Essentials certification and is recognized as the default evacuation standard by UK Government departments. It operates with a small team of 11 employees and has no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or parent company.

Others

• Arup Fire Engineering: Arup provides fire-safety engineering consultancy and evacuation modeling for major building projects. It overlaps with TagEvac's consultative zone-planning service at the design/specification stage rather than on hardware supply.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection and certification company that conducts fire-safety audits and compliance work. It is adjacent to TagEvac because compliance frameworks drive adoption of evacuation systems, but it does not directly compete on evacuation hardware.

Direct peers

• JALITE: JALITE manufactures photoluminescent safety signage and evacuation products used in buildings and transport, competing head-on with TagEvac for the physical safety-signage component of evacuation systems.
• C-Tecn: C-Tecn is a UK-based provider of sweep-evacuation signage and zone-planning systems very similar in approach to TagEvac. It directly competes for the same enterprise and public-sector evacuation contracts in the UK market.

Broad incumbents

• Chubb Fire & Security: Chubb is a major UK and European fire-safety services provider, offering fire risk assessments, evacuation planning, and ongoing maintenance that overlap with TagEvac's consultative offering.
• ASSA ABLOY: ASSA ABLOY is the global leader in door hardware and access control, including emergency-exit solutions. While its core products are different, it competes for the same building-life-safety budget pool as TagEvac.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens sells Cerberus fire safety and Desigo building automation portfolios that include evacuation management, and is also a TagEvac customer (via Siemens Gamesa), illustrating the dual competitor/customer dynamic.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell offers a broad portfolio of fire detection, voice evacuation, mass notification, and building management systems. While not a low-tech specialist, it represents the digital incumbent TagEvac positions against.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric provides EcoStruxure building management and life-safety systems that increasingly integrate evacuation workflows. It competes for the same enterprise safety and digital-building budgets as TagEvac.
• Johnson Controls: Johnson Controls provides integrated fire detection, voice evacuation and building management solutions globally. Its OpenBlue platform competes for the same enterprise safety budgets as TagEvac.
