Securitas has acquired Allcoopers Ltd and its subsidiaries. Founded in 1987 and with annual sales of circa £7 million, Allcooper Group specialises in the installation, maintenance and monitoring of a wide range of security and fire systems.
The business operates from bases in Gloucestershire, the West Midlands and London with a complement of around 100 employees. Its proven expertise in electronic security and portfolio of long-term customers will provide excellent support in Securitas’ pursuit of its strategic objectives.
As part of the Securitas Group, Allcooper – which is valued at £6 million – will continue to deliver professional security services to clients in the UK and will operate under the Securitas brand by the end of 2019.
“The Allcooper Group has been a valued trading partner of Securitas UK for several years and this acquisition further strengthens our portfolio as we continue to build electronic security services as part of our Vision 2020 strategy,” explained Brian Riis Nielsen, country president for Securitas UK.
