Growth and development

Founded in the UK in 2009, Bullitt Group opened international operations in China in 2010 and in the USA in 2012. Bullitt's first licence was with JCB mobile devices and in February 2012, the Company became the worldwide licensee of Caterpillar Inc. for mobile devices and accessories. Licences for Ted Baker (high quality, design-led audio devices) and Kodak (easy to use smartphones) soon followed. Most recently, Bullitt Group became a global licensee for Ministry of Sound [1] to develop a range of headphones and connected audio devices that will launch in May 2015. Around May 2016, it partnered with Bullitt Group to launch a portfolio of mobile devices and peripherals.

In May 2016, Bullitt announced a partnership with Land Rover which will bring about the development of a new portfolio of mobile devices and peripherals. .[2]
