Northern Security takes over the business and customer portfolio of Hayde Security 
(24/04/2009)
Northern Security has announced its take-over of a major North East guarding company - and hinted that more buy-outs are in the pipeline.
According to Northern Security MD Paul Hopper, the economic downturn is providing an upswing in demand for his firm's services from both private and public sector clients. His company's latest acquisition was made in Stockton where Northern Security has taken over the business and customer portfolio of Hayde Security. Its guarding team will also be retained to work across premises in the NE ranging from offices to shopping centres and sports grounds.
Meanwhile, said Paul, additional new guards are being recruited at Northern Security's headquarters in Upperby, Carlisle, and at its regional offices in Manchester and Middlesbrough. Hayde Security, added Paul, was a perfect match for Northern Security in that it combined high standards of client care with forward-looking policies on staff training and management.
"We have signalled our willingness within the security industry to talk about possible acquisition with any competitor which can demonstrate sound business credentials and a proven track record," he said.
The current economic climate, added Paul, was causing many organisations to review their security arrangements to ensure they were receiving the best value. Northern Security, he said, offered a number of unique management tools which allowed clients to evaluate his company's effectiveness.
