Ranger Fire and Security has made its acquisition; in Ireland, of Limerick-based Prestige Detection Systems Ltd (PDSL). Set up in 2005, PDSL is a provider of fire, security and emergency response systems with a particular focus on the Munster region and Galway. Managing Director Dave Enright, who brings over 35 years of experience in the fire and security industry, will remain in post. Ranger points to:
-
Geographic expansion into Ireland’s west coast, adding to its coverage in Munster and Galway.
-
service offerings, adding active fire and electronic security capabilities that complement Ranger’s services and enable greater cross-selling opportunities.
-
leadership and customer relationships, bringing proven expertise and partnerships with multinational clients that offer growth potential.
-
and operational efficiencies by reducing engineer travel times across Ireland through closer regional collaboration with other Ranger businesses.
Mark Bridges, CEO of Ranger Fire and Security, said: “The addition of PDSL to Ranger marks another key milestone in our expansion across Ireland. Dave and his team bring exceptional experience, technical skill and a well-earned reputation for excellence that will help us further enhance Ranger’s services. The team’s focus on compliance, customer service and quality aligns perfectly with our mission to be the one-stop provider for fire and security services across the UK and Ireland.”
And Dave Enright, Managing Director of Prestige, said: “We’re excited to join the Ranger Group and look forward to working alongside some of the most respected businesses in the industry. This partnership will allow us to continue delivering the same high-quality, customer-focused service that our clients expect, while gaining access to wider expertise, resources and cross-selling opportunities that Ranger offers.”
PDSL’s addition marks Ranger’s 12th acquisition since its launch in early 2024, and its fourth in Ireland, following the acquisitions of KSS Fire Suppression, B-Safe Group and Aqua Fire Prevention.
