Ranger has announced that Inflexion has made a majority investment in the business, accelerating its growth plans and acquisition strategy across the UK and Ireland.
The investment will enable Ranger to continue acquiring local businesses, a core part of its growth strategy, and will also support the further integration of back-office functions across the Group, both important factors in Inflexion’s decision to invest.
Together, these measures will help advance Ranger’s ambition to build a national fire and security services platform, while supporting a potential move into continental Europe in the future.
As part of the transaction, Hyperion will be making a substantial re-investment alongside Inflexion to support Ranger’s long-term strategic goals. All members of the Ranger leadership team will remain in post.
Mark Bridges, CEO, Ranger Fire and Security, said: “This is a landmark moment for Ranger. In just a short space of time we’ve built a strong footprint covering all parts of the UK and Ireland. We’ve brought together some of the industry’s highest-performing businesses, combining their trusted customer reputations with the scale and reach of a national platform.
“This investment is a strong endorsement of our strategy and the momentum we’ve built. With their support and expertise, we can accelerate our plans, scale faster and continue building a one-stop shop for fire and security services.”
Michael Baster, partner at Inflexion, said: “Ranger has built a compelling platform and we are excited to be partnering with Mark and the team as they accelerate the company’s next phase of growth. With a clear vision, acquisition strategy and a strong track record of integrating high-quality businesses, we see significant further opportunity ahead.”
