Consolidation Ahead?

Plimsoll Publishing has produced a financial health check for each of the top 939 companies in the UK security industry. It reveals that consolidation is essential as supply is outstripping demand. All companies are having a difficult trade off between protecting margins and appeasing price sensitive customers.

David Pattison, senior analyst on the project, comments 'A great deal has been written on the general slow down in the UK, but until now no one has measured the impact on the security market and crucially who is most exposed.'

Of most concern are the 164 firms who have been rated as Danger. These firms are being hit the hardest. The numbers are stark - profit margins falling to only -4% of sales, and the majority of companies in this classification are making a loss. Most are taking on debt at an alarming rate simply to cover costs.'

A reminder: this week from 25 – 26th June the world of policing gathers in Liverpool for the ACPO-APA International Policing Exhibition 2008. This is the biggest and most influential event for buyers and suppliers of products and services for police forces and associated organisations, and the range of tools, services and technologies presented in the exhibition hall reflects that (see under Conference/Exhibition news).

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

Mobile BGAN Solution from Spectra
Spectra Group, a UK-based supplier of Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) to governmental organisations and the military, has announced the immediate availability of the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 727, a new mobile communications solution.
