Secureshield is excited and delighted to announce our formal partnership with Ranger Fire & Security, building out the Group’s footprint in Scotland and North-Eastern England.
With plans for further imminent regional acquisitions in the pipeline, this announcement reiterates Ranger’s mission to become the one-stop solution in the UK and Ireland for fire and security services.
Secureshield will act as Ranger’s operational hub in Scotland and North-East England, with its Managing Director, John Hunter, becoming Regional Chair, alongside his current role. All other members of the management team remain in situ.
Since launching earlier this year, with backing from the private investment firm Hyperion Equity Partners, Ranger has embarked on a mission to establish itself as the leading one-stop solution provider in the fire and safety sector, offering a comprehensive range of services through both regional and national operations, and providing a seamless customer experience.
The announcement builds on Ranger Fire and Security’s previous acquisitions of AFIL, Ignis Fire Protection Ltd, Syncro Group Ltd, IPH Fire Solutions Ltd, Fire Door Specialists Ltd, and KSS Fire Suppression, which together have helped Ranger to enhance its offering in all key areas of fire and security services, such as fire detection and alarms, extinguisher maintenance, passive fire and security services.

MARK BRIDGES, CEO, RANGER FIRE & SECURITY
“Secureshield is a highly respected key player in the fire, security and maintenance space. Their joining of the Ranger Group will expand our geographic reach and industry expertise.
With a strong management team led by John, Billy, Lorna, and Rory, this acquisition provides us with a fantastic opportunity to drive further growth and cross selling opportunities – helping Ranger to deliver our mission of a high-quality one stop fire and security solution across the UK and Ireland.”
JOHN HUNTER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, SECURESHIELD
“There was a huge amount of interest in Secureshield, but with a shared focus on growth and delivering the highest quality service for our customers and clients, Ranger was absolutely the right partner for Secureshield’s future.
We looked at a number of options to take Secureshield to the next level but felt that Ranger was best equipped with their experience and partnership led approach to deliver on our goals.
I am looking forward to working closely with Mark and the Ranger team to grow Secureshields’ presence, enhancing our existing portfolio, fostering greater collaboration across the group, and by the prospect of us serving as the hub for development and expansion.”
