Lodge Service Ltd has acquired Endeavour Security Ltd and its £1.2m monitoring centre and services business, in a further 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 more than 800.
Stuart Lodge says: “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.”
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.
