17 March 2025

Ranger Fire and Security has announced its first acquisition of 2025: North-West based McGoff & Vickers Fire & Security Systems.

Backed by private investment firm Hyperion Equity Partners, Ranger unites fire and security businesses to share industry expertise and resources. Since its launch in early 2024, Ranger has acquired AFIL, Ignis Fire Protection Ltd, Syncro Group Ltd, IPH Fire Solutions Ltd, Fire Door Specialists Ltd, KSS Fire Suppression, and Secureshield Ltd. 

Its latest acquisition, McGoff & Vickers Fire and Security Systems, was founded 100 years ago and will allow Ranger to expand its reach in the North-West. MGV has a 95 per cent recurring revenue stream based on maintenance relationships.

Funding for this latest acquisition was provided by ThinCats.  

Gerry Bates, Managing Director of Syncro, said: “We know McGoff & Vickers really well by reputation, and they have an excellent reputation gained with their many long-standing customers, providing the North-West with the high-quality fire and security needs it requires.

“Working closely with Syncro under the Ranger umbrella, we will work together as a team to enable McGoff & Vickers and Syncro to delight our current customer base and to reach a wider range of customers. I’m looking forward to working with the MGV team to enhance our offering to customers across the North-West.”

Ian Teader, Group Managing Director of Ranger Fire and Security, said: “MGV is well known to me and its business model aligns closely with what we are looking to achieve at Ranger. To have a business join with such a strong reputation and history is testament to Ranger’s pull in the market.  Furthermore, for the business to be a 95 per cent maintenance led business is an incredible opportunity for Ranger to build out their services alongside the other businesses that we have in the North-West”.

Mark Giardelli, Managing Director of McGoff & Vickers Fire and Security Systems, said: “Joining the Ranger Group and working closely with Syncro is a huge opportunity for MGV and its customers. This will enable MGV to further expand the business, as well as giving clients greater access to a full range of quality fire and security services through cross-selling initiatives.

“Collaborating with other companies allows for an expansion in services to existing clients while also reaching new customers. The plan is to work closely with other North-West based businesses to increase resources, skills and knowledge to the area.”
