Ranger Fire and Security, a fire and security business backed by Hyperion Equity Partners, has completed its third acquisition of the year, with a deal for a firm based in the West Midlands. Stourbridge-based MarkOne Safety Solutions specialises in the design, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire safety and emergency lighting systems.
The company provides services spanning the full life cycle of fire safety systems, from the initial design of systems to full installation and on through to specialist commissioning and ongoing service and maintenance.
The acquisition is the 16th completed by Ranger Fire and Security since it was formed in early 2024 and builds on its previous acquisition of Midlands-based Ignis Fire Protection, further bolstering its presence in the region.
The deal follows two more acquisitions completed so far this year, with Ranger having acquired Dorset-based Partnership Fire and Security in January and Yorkshire-based Centurion Fire & Security last month.
Mark Haynes, managing director of MarkOne Safety Solutions, said: "Joining Ranger represents an exciting new chapter for MarkOne. Since the business was founded, our focus has been on delivering high-quality fire safety systems for our customers, from design and supply through to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance.”
"Becoming part of the Ranger Group allows us to build on that foundation and take the company to the next level. With the additional support, expertise and network that Ranger provides, we will be able to continue delivering the high standards that our customers have come to expect, while expanding the reach of our services across the region."
Ranger Fire and Security Chief Executive Mark Bridges said that the acquisition significantly strengthens the group’s presence in the West Midlands.
He continued: "The team brings deep technical expertise across the design, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire safety systems, making the company a natural fit as we continue building a single, national platform to meet all fire and security needs.”
"Following our earlier acquisition of Ignis Fire Protection, MarkOne further enhances our regional footprint in the Midlands and allows us to provide customers with an even broader range of high-quality fire safety services."
