Connelly Group Holdings has acquired Renfrewshire security business Brookfield Alarms.
The group behind Connelly Security Systems was established in Bishopbriggs in 1986 by brothers Jim, Pat and Paul Connelly.
It has acquired around 25 security businesses over the last quarter of a decade, with coverage across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Stirling and the Highlands.
The acquisition of Brookfield Alarms adds around 3,500 customers to the business.
Johnstone-based Brookfield Alarms has been providing and installing intruder alarms, CCTV, fire alarms and door access systems to domestic and commercial customers across the west of Scotland for more than 40 years.
Owners Robert and Elaine MacIntyre are retiring, with all staff - a combination of sales, engineering and support teams - being retained, with additional engineering resources set to be recruited.
Paul Connelly, managing director of Connelly Group Holdings, said: “We are delighted the MacIntyres chose CGH to help look after their staff and customers after such a long journey. We are all looking forward to working together in the years ahead.”
Paul Macdonald, corporate partner at Harper Macleod, which has worked with Connelly on transactions over the last eight years, advised Connelly Group Holdings.
“The security sector is consolidating as manufacturers, suppliers and installers look to integrate new technologies. We would expect this trend to continue into 2023 and beyond as international, national and regional operators look for growth opportunities,” he commented.
