Ranger Fire and Security has acquired three additional businesses as part of its continued expansion strategy across Scotland, Ireland and the North West of England.
The company said the acquisitions support its ambition to become a leading provider of fire and security services across the UK and Ireland.
Scottish fire and security specialist joins group
Edinburgh based iFire Fire and Security has joined the Ranger group, bringing expertise in fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV and access control systems.
The business is recognised as one of Scotland’s leading installers of integrated fire and security solutions for commercial and retail environments.
Ranger said iFire has developed a strong reputation for its customer focused approach, combining industry experience with affordable solutions.
Its customer base includes offices, industrial facilities and commercial premises across Scotland.
Expansion into Ireland and North West England
Galway based Henderson Fire and Safety has also been acquired. The company specialises in fire suppression systems, fire extinguisher hoses, evacuation chairs, hose reels and building protection products.
Henderson additionally provides training services including fire warden instruction, fire safety awareness, manual handling and first aid courses.
Warrington based FireCheck is the third business to join the group. The company provides fire extinguishers, fire risk assessments, PAT testing, fire alarm servicing, evacuation chairs and fire marshal training throughout the North West of England.
Ranger said the acquisition will strengthen its existing regional presence.
Acquisition strategy continues
The additions of iFire, Henderson and FireCheck bring Ranger Fire and Security’s total acquisitions to 21 since the company was established in early 2024.
Ranger stated the acquisitions form part of its strategy to unite established local specialist businesses into a national platform capable of delivering comprehensive fire and security services across multiple regions.
Mark Bridges, CEO of Ranger Fire and Security, said: “With our latest acquisitions we have brought together 21 companies under the Ranger umbrella since launch.
“With companies spanning the breadth and width of the UK and Ireland, we are solving the fragmented nature of the fire and security sector, which has limited many businesses from scaling.
“iFire, Henderson and FireCheck will be valuable additions to the team and bring their own specialisms to the gGroup’s offering, having built excellent reputations in their respective areas for high-quality, expert services.
“With our growing footprint across the UK and Ireland, businesses in the Ranger Group are increasingly able to create cross-selling opportunities for each other, offering customers a range of services from trusted providers.”
David Boyle, Managing Director of iFire Fire and Security, said: “Our mission has always been to provide customers with a trustworthy and expert service that they can rely on. As part of the Ranger Group, we will continue to deliver this standard of work to our clients, now with the added support of Ranger’s senior leadership team.
“As a new member of the Ranger team, we are looking forward to working with other businesses in the Group both in Scotland and beyond to extend our customer base.”
