They should really have no Gi judo like no Gi BJJ

I know the BJA have trialled this, not sure how much uptake it had nationally, or how much it was pushed, but I don't think it was very successful, I may be wrong. We started a no gi class at our dojo when they first announced it and it ran for well over a year. It had decent numbers at first but very quickly dwindled to nothing and was cancelled, it might have been more successful elsewhere though, maybe some of british judoka can chime in with their experience.
