More than 500,000 hrs of services have been provided since the launch of Brigad and the firm forecasts revenue of €10 M in 2018. It currently has a team of around 50.

For the moment, Brigad has a presence in Paris, the surrounding region and in Lyon, and has just opened in London. Many new cities are expected to be added in coming months.
