The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO) is a security and protection company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, United States. Its core business is Brink’s, Incorporated; it spun off its Brink’s Home Security operations into a separate company (Broadview Security) in 2008. In 2005, the company reported a total of 54,000 employees and operations in more than 50 countries. The company emerged from The Pittston Company and changed its name to The Brink’s Company in 2003.
Brink’s is popularly known for its bullet-resistant armored trucks which are used to carry money and valuable goods (once used to transport the Hope Diamond from an auction to the buyer's home). Brink’s is a provider of security services to banks, retailers, governments, mints, and jewelers. Founded in 1859 by Perry Brink of Chicago, Illinois, Brink’s Incorporated evolved from an armored transportation service to one of the main providers of logistics solutions[clarification needed]and secure transportation in the world.
Brink's recently sold one of its core operations, BAX Global, a logistics and transportation solutions company. BAX Global was formerly known as Burlington Air Express. On January 31, 2006, Brink's sold BAX Global to Deutsche Bahn for US$1.1 billion.
Higher interest rates mean that mortgages become more expensive, and this deters many would-be purchasers from buying more expensive property. Economic growth is closely related to consumer spending levels. Buoyant house values in many countries are believed to encourage consumer spending as people are less concerned about increasing their borrowing or using their credit cards when sitting on a major asset. Government, which largely controls the planning processes in most societies, is usually concerned to ensure that house builders provide ample low cost housing in addition to larger, more lavish properties (on which the profit margins for builders are usually higher).
Environmental groups are concerned about the detrimental impact of housing development on the countryside. There are government-backed grant incentives, particularly in many European countries, to use brown-field sites rather than destroy open countryside, although such sites are often in run-down, less desirable city areas.
