A Newcastle security company has been snapped up by a Yorkshire rival in an undisclosed deal.
Professional Security, based in Leeds, has strengthened its position in the hospitality security sector after acquiring Phoenix Security. Launched in 2005, Professional Security operates nationwide across the hospitality, leisure, retail and public sectors, with independent, regional and national operators in the UK. The business said it has seen transformational growth over the last few years, with established hospitality security and guarding divisions.
Phoenix Security, meanwhile, was established in May 2000 by managing director Steve Howe and has door supervisors working across the UK from Aberdeen to Southampton. The company has clients including McDonalds, KFC, Stonegate Group, Revolution Bar Group, Turtle Bay, Lane 7, Roxy Leisure and Mojos.
