One Big Conspiracy
Did the Daily Telegraph ask the wrong questions?
Our review of the special investigation into the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, reported on exclusively by the Daily Telegraph in Australia. We believe it was undertaken with the best endeavours, however we highlight the astonishing omissions in the investigation.
Brethren on Fire
The astonishing story that despite appearing to have little relevant experience and in less than 10 years, that a number of brethren member companies have become the dominant force in Fire Safety Compliance in the Social Housing Sector. A story that involves the Hales family, Procurement risks, Grenfell, and the use of partner charities such as the Rapid Relief Team by brethren companies.
Bruce Hales, Sydney Businessman or Charity Case?
Following the publication of our research by ABC, 4 Corners, Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Brethren Exposed provides the full story into our investigation into the finances and funding of Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Leader Bruce Hales. Often described as 'Sydney based businessman', we offer an alternative description of the controversial and secretive 'cult' leader.
Wholesale Brethren Development and Planning Applications!
In the third of our series looking at charities ran by members of the Plymouth Brethren and their development and planning applications, we go to Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Investigating the remarkable story of how the Plymouth Brethren Gospel Hall Trusts have in the last 18 years, sold all their meeting rooms and replaced with a brand new set of meeting rooms! A deep dive into the vague wording of brethren planning applications.
Purchasing a Pub for Church Development?
In the second of our series looking at charities ran by members of the Plymouth Brethren and their development and planning applications, we go to Chippenham, Wiltshire.

Starting with how one of the largest Plymouth Brethren Meeting Room is taking over the neighbourhood around their Swanley site. Brethren Exposed investigates the purchase of residential properties in the local area.
£47million dividends paid by 2San
Carnforth based 2San Global are a company I have covered previously, recently it came to my attention that in 2022 they paid out dividends of over £47 million to the directors, including Dean Hales, son of brethren leader Bruce Hales. This dividend is unusual as the business showed less than £1 million in shareholder funds at the end of 2021 and at the end of 2022. We dug a little deeper!
Government testing director moves to brethren testing company
How we traced a UK Covid Testing director to becoming the CEO of a company, that was registered at the same address as two other companies, these companies had been awarded £1.1 billion in testing contracts. Awarded whilst he was the highest paid director for the UKHSA Test & Trace team.
Secretive religious Cult development surge
Brethren Exposed investigates the secretive world of the Exclusive Plymouth Brethren and their construction spree after winning Covid contracts worth over £2.6 billion.
