BrocadeBrocade -- April 2026
Editor's Note
Welcome to the first Brocade newsletter. Each month we will share regulatory updates that affect higher-risk buildings, practical guidance you can act on immediately, and the occasional product update when we ship something worth mentioning. This issue lands just as the PEEPs deadline has passed -- if your building is still catching up, you are not alone, and we have written up a clear prioritisation plan. There is a lot of change ahead in building safety, and our aim is to make sure none of it catches you off guard.
