The fire protection, security, and communications systems installer ABCA Systems based in North Tyneside, has acquired RAAM Construction, the fire protection, construction, maintenance, and repair services firm based in Enfield, north London.
RAAM Construction has been operating for nearly 19 years, delivering specialist services to commercial and public sector clients across London and the South East. The company works in passive fire protection, general building works, planned maintenance, responsive repairs, and refurbishment projects, in sectors including social housing, education, healthcare, and local government.
Phillip Miller, Group CEO of ABCA Systems, said: “RAAM has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality, dependable services to a wide range of clients. Their values and approach align closely with ours, and we’re excited to welcome the RAAM team into the ABCA family. This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver end-to-end solutions across fire protection, building services, and maintenance, and demonstrates our commitment to continued growth through strategic partnerships.”

This acquisition follows a series, after Maintec Ltd, A.G.S. Tech Ltd, HBS Fabrication Northwest Ltd, and most recently, Citrus Group. All are based in the North West. ABCA is now extending its footprint further into London and the South East. RAAM Construction will continue to operate under the ABCA Systems umbrella, with its leadership and workforce in place.
Phil Batson, Managing Director of ABCA Systems, said: “This move represents another step forward in our mission to offer fully integrated, expert-led services to our clients. RAAM’s strengths complement our own, and together, we’re well-positioned to provide even greater value to the sectors we serve. We look forward to working closely with the RAAM team as we drive forward our shared vision for quality and growth.”
Marcin Kolodziejczyk, Managing Director of RAAM Construction, added: “We are proud of the business we’ve built over the last 19 years and the trust we’ve earned from our clients. Joining ABCA Systems marks an exciting new chapter for RAAM. Their support, scale, and shared values will allow us to grow further, enhance our service offering, and continue delivering the high standards our clients expect. We’re thrilled to be part of this ambitious and forward-thinking group.”
