Ceaton Security has been acquired by Senseco Systems in a deal supported by FRP Corporate Finance.
FRP Corporate Finance was appointed by Angie Beasley, managing director of Ceaton, to explore a trade sale of the group. The FRP Corporate Finance team worked with Angie on the preparing for the sale before identifying an appropriate buyer in Senseco. The team then led on negotiations and managed the project through to a successful completion
Senseco will now benefit from Ceaton’s reputation in the Welsh market and its relationships with clients. Ceaton will continue to trade under the same name alongside the Senseco brand. This will enable them to take advantage of their combined life safety resources across fire detection, sprinklers, suppression, security, passive and automation service lines.
Thomas Edwards, director at FRP Corporate Finance, said: “It’s been a pleasure to have advised Angie on the transaction. The business attracted significant market interest, which is not surprising considering the impressive growth that has been achieved since she led a management buyout back in 2022. Under Senseco Systems, Ceaton Security can continue to deliver its exceptional, specialised services across Wales and the South West of England.”
Angie Beasley, managing director at Ceaton Security, added: “Since starting out over 30 years ago, we’ve prided ourselves on providing a high-quality service to our clients, and this deal will allow us to continue to do that with a partner that understands the importance of our longstanding relationships and deep foothold within the local market. Senseco is a business with values and a culture like our own, making this deal a good fit for both our clients and employees.
