Ranger Fire and Security has acquired London-based fire and safety-security solutions provider, Fidelity Integrated systems, marking the company’s first acquisition in the South East.
Based in Orpington, Fidelity offers customers a range of services including access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and gate automation, fire safety including detection, suppression and compliance solutions to minimize risk and damage to properties.
Fidelity has been serving customers across the South East, including London and the home counties, for over 20 years. Their client list spans iconic landmarks, listed buildings, schools, retail stores and residential developments.
Fidelity has also attained some of the highest accreditations in the industry including NACOSS Gold for Security Systems and for Fire Alarm Systems and is fully regulated by the NSI.
The addition of Fidelity will give Ranger a foothold in the South East and the company will work as Ranger’s business “hub” in the region. This will enable Ranger to better reach and meet the needs of customers in the South East, while furthering its bolt-on acquisition strategy, as the team looks to reach other fire and security specialists in the area.
Fidelity’s Managing Director, Andy Atkinson, will be staying in his role, alongside the existing senior management teams.
Atkinson 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.”
Mark Bridges, CEO of Ranger Fire and Security, commented: “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.”
The acquisition of Fidelity Integrated Systems marks Ranger’s 18th acquisition since its formation in early 2024 and the fifth of 2026.
FMJ and Watco Webinar: Meeting compliance in a new culture of accountability
From January 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) formally separated from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Created under the Building Safety Act 2022 in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the BSR is designed to raise safety standards across the built environment and introduce a stronger culture of accountability, transparency, and proactive risk management.
This shift places facilities managers in a more strategic safety assurance role – far beyond routine maintenance.
FMJ and Watco are hosting a webinar on 22 April at 11:00am to explore what this new regulatory landscape means for FMs. To register for the webinar click here.
