As a demonstrable example of its quality, ASG recently won a BACIL Award (Business Against Crime in Leeds) for best daytime security team. Its high-performance approach also centres on its own people. It is a Recognised Service Provider with the Living Wage Foundation and like Atlas has also signed the Armed Forces Covenant, as it employs many ex-service personnel and values them highly.
Atlas FM is the UK’s fastest-growing privately owned facilities management company and has been committed to quality, reliability and creating happiness for both staff and customers since 1986. Operating nationwide with 11,000 people at over 6,000 sites, Atlas has the same ethos and values at ASG, putting people first. It prides itself on having a great culture and values, characterised by a family feel and passionate people.
The transaction will strengthen Atlas’ existing security offering in the North and Midlands.
Kaine Smith, Partner at Rickitt Mitchell said: “ASG’s strong growth is testament to the investment and hard work made by its management team. Ian and Nick are fantastic leaders with great integrity and it has been a genuine pleasure to work alongside them on the transaction”.
Chris Wisely, Atlas Group CEO, said: “We see ASG as a regional leader with a reputation for quality. This grows our existing cleaning and security offering in the North and Midlands, and the warm and family-style culture of ASG fits nicely with our own.”
