VSG believes the move will be beneficial for customers of both firms. “Customers of Rampart Security will gain from the broad range of security services currently offered by VSG,” a statement said. “In addition, the backing of VSG, with its extensive resources and expertise, will allow Rampart to develop new and enhanced services that will provide further customer benefits in the future.
“For VSG customers, the acquisition will mean that the organisation now has NACOSS Gold accredited in-house capabilities and expertise for the provision of comprehensive electronic security solutions including, CCTV, access control and intruder detection systems.”
Commitment to innovation
Keith Francis, group managing director of VSG, said: “An important factor in our decision to acquire Rampart Security was our previous experience of working closely with the company over two years.
“During this time, we were not only impressed by Rampart’s expertise, but also by the company’s commitment to innovation and customer service. In short, Rampart’s philosophy closely matches our own and we firmly believe that the acquisition will be an important step forward for all concerned.”
Additional enthusiasm
Rampart Security managing director Peter Rutt said his company was “equally enthusiastic” about joining VSG.
“For some time, we’ve been looking for ways to make our services available to a wider customer base, and we also have many innovative ideas that it would be difficult for us to develop on our own,” he said.
