Specialist monitoring services company sold

Eastern Monitoring Services was sold by Knightsbridge business sales in July 2014, just 10 months after being offered up to the market.

Established in 2009 and under ownership of the vendor since 2011, the company specialises in CCTV System Design, LIVE CCTV Monitoring and Security Consultancy to project integrators, facility managers, national installers and individual end user business clients.

The Norfolk based business has organically grown over the years to provide a one stop CCTV security solutions package for its clients. The Company has around 23 customers who all use the Live CCTV security services to save on full time manned security.

The business can be fully relocated, presenting an ideal bolt on opportunity to an existing security company. The current customer base covers Suffolk, Norfolk, Sheffield, Coventry and Slough. The vendor was fully active in the business and, assisted by 5 CCTV operators to oversee the cameras.

The business was acquired by Integrated Security Solutions firm Brooknight who intend to use it as a bolt-on business.

Senior negotiator Samantha Wright revealed that the opportunity generated a high amount of interest from similar security businesses and the transaction was quick and straightforward.
