Independent adviser HMT, led by Partner Paul Read and Executive Hamish Pearson, advised Sonmarg Capital on its acquisition of UK provider of security, fire, and safety systems BWS Security Systems Limited from its retiring owners, Mike Stone and Chris Jenkins.
Established in 1988 and headquartered in Bath, BWS supplies, installs, maintains, and monitors fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control systems for commercial and residential customers, principally across the South West of the UK.
To help steer the company’s next phase of growth, Sonmarg Capital has recruited Benedict O’Halloran and Alexander Schuil to join the board of BWS. O’Halloran was previously the Chief Legal Officer at Verisure/Securitas Direct, which has 3.6m customers in 16 countries. Schuil is the current Chief Executive of Briscoe Protective, a fire and security protection business in North America.
HMT, led by Read and Pearson, undertook financial due diligence for Sonmarg on this transaction.
