Ranger Fire and Security has announced its first acquisition of 2025, with McGoff & Vickers Fire & Security Systems (MGV) becoming the latest business to join the Ranger Group.
Founded in 1925, North-West based F&S business MGV provides fire protection services within both the private and public sectors. It currently boasts a range of clients including hospitals, councils, and educational facilities. MGV has a 95% recurring revenue stream based on maintenance relationships, which aligns closely with Ranger’s guardrails.
Later this year the company celebrates its centenary anniversary, as it continues to enhance security for its customers through a range of products including fire, intruder, CCTV, electrical and data cabling networks installations.
MGV has also been a National Security Inspectorate NACOSS Gold Contractor since the 1970s. As a security specialist in the North-West, MGV will complement the existing fire alarm services at Ranger and enhance the group’s multidiscipline and cross-selling capability. The team will work with other companies in the Ranger Group to increase efficiency, skills and knowledge, while delivering work to existing customers on a wider scale.
As part of this acquisition, and like previous businesses that have joined the Ranger Group, MGV will continue to operate under its current name but will work closely alongside Syncro Fire and Security.
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.”
The announcement builds on Ranger Fire and Security’s previous acquisitions of AFIL, Ignis Fire Protection, Syncro Group, IPH Fire Solutions, Fire Door Specialists, KSS Fire Suppression and Secureshield which together have helped Ranger to enhance its offering in all key areas of fire and security services.
