Boston Networks has acquired the Glasgow-based fire and security firm Tough Security Systems.
Boston Networks Limited offers design, installation and support of ‘intelligent’ building systems and wireless products and takes in network CCTV, building access control and a new 24/7 Network Operation Centre in Glasgow.
Recently Boston Networks was awarded ‘Partner of the year’ from IP video management software company Milestone Systems and also Gold Partner status from Axis Communications in recognition of a number of project wins in the UK.
Boston Networks says that it will now offer a broader range of solutions to its clients including public space CCTV, fire safety systems and monitored Intruder detection. Scott McEwan, Managing Director, Boston Networks, says: “Over the past 24 months, Boston Networks has embarked on a strategic move to enhance our solution offering from not only designing, deploying and maintaining intelligent networks but also delivering integrated security solutions that maximise these networks and deliver safety and security to our clients staff and assets. Building on the success of our integrated security offering, we are very excited to further strengthen our portfolio to fully incorporate Public Space CCTV, Fire Safety Systems, Intruder Detection Systems and Monitoring & Response on a larger scale. A fully integrated approach to security delivers highly secure and scalable solutions that can be centrally and remotely managed, deliver a rapid return on investment and also deliver multiple environmental benefits – which as technology continues to evolve we know are crucial to UK business.”
Hugh Hamill, Managing Director of Tough Security Systems, says: ‘Viewing the security landscape in the UK, Tough Security Systems undoubtedly believes that a more integrated approach to security is, by far, more effective. With this acquisition Boston Networks will now fully absorb Tough Security Systems diverse skill set and extensive experience to enable the delivery of truly world class, integrated security solutions – throughout the UK.’
