A specialist electronic security systems firm was acquired by national outsourcing group Mitie in a £19.1m deal.
Northumberland-based R H Irving, which employs around 115 staff, has become part of the £3.9bn turnover facilities management operator in a move that follows its April acquisition of another security consulting firm, Linx International Group. Mitie said the deal was part of its strategy to invest in "high growth, high margin" companies.
R H Irving has been running for more than 20 years and delivers complex and sophisticated security services to UK customers. Mitie called it a company with a strong reputation in regulated markets such as critical national infrastructure.
