Green Compliance plc, a rapidly growing provider of water, fire and pest control & compliance services to organisations throughout the UK, has announced a further acquisition within the fire protection sector. On 1 December 2010, the company completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of FDSA Fire Protection Services Limited.

Based in Harrow, FDSA has traded since 1988 and has 9 staff. The company provides fire safety services including the maintenance and installation of fire protection equipment, risk assessments and training to a wide range of organisations in London and South East, but primarily to housing associations, schools and hotels.

The business will be integrated into Green Compliance's existing fire operations with the intention of maximising potential productivity and operational efficiencies within the combined group. The day to day operations of the business will remain unchanged under the general management of Nigel Walker.  In the short term Martin Reed, the principle shareholder, will stay on to ensure a smooth handover before he leaves to pursue new business interests. 

Commenting on the acquisition John Prowse, CEO of Green Compliance plc, said: "The acquisition of FDSA is our 4th within the fire protection sector and allows us to deepen our national footprint by increasing our presence in London and the South East. In line with our successful strategy to expand our focussed growth within the water, fire, pest and energy compliance arenas this acquisition further establishes Green Compliance as a credible player within the UK compliance services market.

FDSA brings also with it an established, quality, client base which will allow us to strengthen client relationships within the London and South East market."
