Ranger Fire and Security (Ranger) has completed its first acquisition of 2026 with Dorset-based Partnership Fire and Security (Partnership).

Partnership Fire and Security was established in 1999 and has grown to cover more than 3,000 customers across Shaftesbury, Dorset and the South Coast. Consisting of both engineers and administrative staff, Partnership includes teams specialising in installation, as well as a full-time alarm servicing and maintenance department.

Partnership has a service range including intruder and fire alarms to design, installation, monitoring and 24-hour call outs. The team support projects through all stages, from design to completion, with numerous certificates of excellence and quality control to BAFE and SSAIB standards.

The deal marks Ranger’s 14^th acquisition since launching in February 2024 and is its second acquisition in the South West alongside last year’s acquisition of Plymouth’s Universal Fire and Security Ltd.

With backing from Hyperion Equity Partners, Ranger wants “to become the leading one-stop provider for fire and security services across the UK and Ireland” through strategic acquisitions and investment in technology and talent.

Mark Bridges, CEO of Ranger Fire and Security, said: “Partnership Fire and Security marks our first acquisition of the year. We are delighted for them to become the latest addition to the team and bring their acute knowledge of the alarm and security sector to the Group.”

“This is our second acquisition in the South West as we continue to build out our footprint and service lines across the UK and Ireland. With many more announcements lined up for 2026, we are excited for what the coming year will bring for Ranger.”

Nick Ogle, Managing Director of Partnership Fire and Security: “Over the past 27 years, we have worked hard to become one of the top choices for both businesses and high net worth properties across the South of England when it comes to the design and installation of fire alarm protection and security systems. We see the value in not rushing the installation process to ensure we are offering the best possible service, which leads to customers maintaining their systems through us throughout their lifecycle and beyond.”

“We pride ourselves on our customer service and as part of the Ranger Group we are looking forward to working with other experts across the fire and security sector to reach even more customers in the area and further afield.”
