Chesterford factory and set up a new factory at Bar Hill to the north of Cambridge. In 2003 the firm again changed hands, being sold to the Birmingham company Harris Watson Holdings PLC. Then in 2009, Roger Gawn, a Norfolk businessman bought the company. In a return to the line of business of the firm's founding fathers, Swaine Adeney Brigg made six postilion whips for the wedding of the Duke of Cambridge to Miss Catherine Middleton in 2011. With the lease expiry on 54 St James's Street, Swaine Adeney Brigg moved to 7 Piccadilly Arcade, off Piccadilly. Its Cambridge store, which opened in 2015, ceased trading on 20 May 2018. With the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Swaine group was forced to sell Swaine Adeney Brigg to the Chargeurs Group. Swaine London (2022–) On 28 May 2022, after ten years of trade at No. 7, Piccadilly Arcade, Swaine Adeney Brigg relocated from St. James's to Mayfair; to the heart of Burlington Arcade at nos. 18-19. This move allowed management to modernise, strategise and invest in its production and staff. A new factory in Sawston, Cambridgeshire, housed production under one roof for the first time in decades. Its new management wanted to introduce Swaine Adeney Brigg to a much wider global audience. With so many companies now incorporated, the company was renamed Swaine London and rebranded to evolve and open up the company to new demographics. Other firms within the group J.
