Fidelity acquisition extends Ranger footprint into the South East

Ranger expands into the South East

Ranger Fire and Security has made its first acquisition in the South East with the purchase of London-based Fidelity Integrated Systems, announced on Wednesday 15 April 2026.

Ranger said Fidelity, which is based in Orpington, will act as the group’s business hub in the region.

Fidelity provides fire and safety-security services including access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and gate automation.

Its fire safety work includes detection, suppression and compliance solutions intended to minimise risk and damage to properties.

The company has served customers across London and the home counties for more than 20 years.

Its client base includes listed buildings, schools, retail stores and residential developments.

Fidelity holds NACOSS Gold accreditation for Security Systems and for Fire Alarm Systems and is fully regulated by the NSI.

The acquisition is Ranger’s 18th since its formation in early 2024 and its fifth of 2026.

Leadership and regional plans

Ranger said Fidelity Managing Director Andy Atkinson will remain in his role alongside the existing senior management teams.

Mark Bridges, CEO of Ranger Fire and Security, said: “Fidelity is Ranger’s first move into the South East and will function as the group’s leading business “hub” in the region.

“While several Ranger businesses operate nationally, the capital and South East the area has been a gap in our geography.

“With Fidelity joining the team we will be able to reach new customers and potential fire and security businesses alike, offering our extensive services to new clients while being better placed to expand our footprint through future acquisition in the region.

“We will be working closely with Andy and the wider team to support their growth and help them to continue delivering their award-winning fire and security services in the South East and beyond.”

Andy Atkinson, Managing Director at Fidelity Integrated Systems, said: “Becoming part of Ranger Fire and Security marks a significant moment for our company and will allow us to grow and enhance our service offering to our existing clients.

“At Fidelity, we pride ourselves on offering customers the highest service and we are especially looking forward to working with the other businesses under the umbrella that share our values, to help them bring their specialist services to customers in the South East.

“We will also continue to serve our existing loyal customer base in the area and provide the high level of customer service we have become known for in the region.”

Ranger said the deal forms part of its strategy to bring together local businesses into a national fire and security platform across the UK and Ireland.

Fidelity will now serve as Ranger’s regional hub in the South East while continuing to operate with its existing leadership team.
