- Business
- Journeo plc is a provider of intelligent transport systems, delivering integrated transport technology solutions to fleet operators, public transport networks, airports, and cities primarily in the United Kingdom and internationally. The company manufactures and supplies passenger transport infrastructure systems including LED, low-power E-ink, solar-powered TFT displays, interactive wayfinding totems, air quality sensors, in-shelter CCTV, and Wi-Fi for bus stations. It offers connected bus and rail fleet operational management systems, safety and security solutions, real-time passenger information displays, digital wayfinding, shelter integration, and accessibility services. Supporting these products, Journeo provides consultation, software development, technology integration, installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance, and support services. The company operates through multiple subsidiaries including Infotec and Journeo A/S (formerly MultiQ Denmark), targeting transport authorities, fleet operators, and municipal clients.
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England, Journeo plc was formerly known as 21st Century Technology plc, changing its name in October 2019. Recent major company developments include the £13.7 million acquisition in 2025 of Crime and Fire Defence Systems Limited (CFDS), which significantly enhances Journeo’s offering in critical national infrastructure protection with advanced access control, perimeter intrusion detection, and thermal surveillance technologies. This acquisition is expected to boost FY2025 revenue by £4 million and substantially increase adjusted profit in FY2026. In 2023, the company also acquired Infotec and MultiQ Denmark, expanding its market presence in fleet operations and local authority sectors. Journeo has continued to secure high-value contracts, such as extended agreements with First Bus UK and new contracts with major transport operators in Denmark and the UK, reflecting its strategic growth focus. The company has invested heavily in research and development, forming the Journeo Design Centre in 2024 to accelerate innovative product development underpinned by strong cash resources and targeted complementary acquisitions for future growth.
Journeo operates primarily across the UK and Scandinavia, serving public and private transport sectors and expanding into critical infrastructure security. It employs approximately 205 staff and maintains a commitment to integrating software, hardware, and nationwide support services to enhance sustainable and intelligent transport solutions.
This comprehensive portfolio and recent strategic acquisitions position Journeo as a market leader focused on innovation-driven growth within intelligent transport systems and infrastructure protection markets.
