Know what changed on the public record that matters to your business.
One briefing for care home groups, and three for the businesses that sell to care homes, fleets and food businesses. Each one carries only the changes for your area or your own homes, read for the work you do, with the source and date on every line.

See what arrives →What Harrier Signals is
Every care home in England, and every goods-vehicle operator and food business in England and Wales, sits on a public register. The registers change every day, and nobody announces the changes. Harrier reads them and sends each subscriber the ones that concern them.
We keep dated copies of the registers
The CQC register, the Traffic Commissioner bulletins, food hygiene ratings and company filings at Companies House. Our own dated copies show what changed, as well as what is true today.
We keep the area you choose
A thirty-mile circle around a location you pick, or the whole territory. Every change is placed by the site it concerns, never by a company's registered office.
You get one email a week
The changes inside your area, ranked, each with the record behind it, the date it published, and the question worth asking next. A quiet week says what was checked and found nothing.
Four briefings, each bought on its own
Each one reads a different register for a different kind of business. Which one you want depends on whose changes matter to you, the homes you run or the businesses you sell to.
From public records to a useful briefing
Watch the records that matter
Official registers, kept in dated copies, so we can say what changed and when.
Put each change in context
The company behind it checked, the change sorted by type, and similar businesses nearby compared before anyone is called a competitor.
Make the next check clearer
Each item says what changed, what it could mean and the question to ask. Deciding what to do stays with you.
Built around the evidence
- Every line links to its source. The register entry or bulletin, its date, and the company record. An application is never called a grant.
- No person named. The briefings name businesses, care homes and business addresses, and never a person.
- Corrections in the open. Think something is wrong? Write to hello@harriersignals.co.uk. We check the source again, hold the item while we check, and tell everyone who received it if it was wrong. How corrections work.
- Coverage stated, not implied. England for care homes, England and Wales for fleets, England and Wales for food businesses, and the exact registers for each. Sources and coverage.
