- The acquisition is Ranger Fire and Security’s second in the South West as the company continues to expand its reach across the UK and build a truly national platform.

12th January 2026: Ranger Fire and Security has completed its first acquisition of 2026 with Dorset-based based alarm and security experts Partnership Fire and Security.
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. The team, which consists of both engineers and administrative staff, has adapted over time to meet ever-changing customer demands, and now includes teams specialising in installation, as well as a full-time alarm servicing and maintenance department.
Partnership has built a strong reputation for quality, with 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, offering customers peace of mind over the quality of the service they are receiving, as well as value for money.
Security is a core part of Partnership’s business model, with expert engineers fitting alarms for businesses and properties, including vetting them to the very highest Police and national requirements. With technology becoming increasingly sophisticated, Partnership provides the latest standard in security system, allowing customers to view their premises at all times to remotely and easily search footage.
The deal marks Ranger Fire and Security’s 14th 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, further building out its coverage in the region and further its mission to build a service that is truly national in scope.
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.”
By becoming part of the Ranger Group, Partnership will have the additional business support of Ranger’s leadership team, while being able to access and collaborate with Ranger’s growing network of industry experts in the South West and across the UK and Ireland.
With backing from Hyperion Equity Partners, Ranger is on a mission 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, Ranger offers a comprehensive range of services at a regional and national level, all while providing a seamless customer experience.
