Lodge
Service Buys Endeavour Security in Remote Security Expansion
Lodge Service Ltd, the £22
million security consultancy, has acquired Endeavour Security Ltd and its £1.2
million monitoring centre and services business, in a further strategic move
into remote security services, according to CEO Stuart Lodge.
The acquisition includes
Endeavour’s CCTV monitoring facility at Redditch, Worcestershire, which will
support Lodge Service’s Cat 2 national data centre in Accrington, Lancashire,
launched in 2012. Endeavour’s 37 security guards will increase Lodge Service’
total staff to over 800.
“ Endeavour’s experience in
protecting warehousing, logistics and other industrial property and assets
complements Lodge Service’s expertise in retail security and the corporate
sector. The acquisition extends our provision of both monitoring and services
through Endeavour’s network of manned guarding, key holding and response support,”
says Stuart Lodge.
Lodge Service’s communications
network links retail, corporate and other service users’ premises to provide alarm
response, analysis and management information. The range of services and
signals monitored through the hub includes: CCTV, staff time and attendance,
vehicle tracking, access control, fire and intruder alarms, lone worker
protection, building management systems, environmental and waste management,
data mining, networked distribution centres, trolley track and EAS tagging.
Founded
in 1919, Lodge Service has nearly 800 staff and local offices or franchise
operations in nine countries. It is the largest of the remaining family businesses
in the security sector, according to Stuart Lodge, and the only one in the top
five per cent of SIA-ACS, Security Industry Authority, Approved Contractor
Scheme.
