Darien Rush Security Unveils Strategic Acquisition

Darien Rush Security Unveils Strategic Acquisition

Combined forces will set formidable benchmark in New Zealand security industry

Darien Rush Security has today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Strategic Security Ltd, effective 1 April 2010.

The combined forces of two of this country’s leading security providers creates a formidable enterprise that will offer a complete security service not currently available in New Zealand.

Darien Rush Security will incorporate Strategic Security Ltd’s event security and asset management protection business into its Newmarket-based operation, which to date has focused on providing comprehensive, technologically advanced alarm and video monitoring, patrolling and guard response services.

Director Darien Rush says “Essentially, this is a move of extreme significance which will create a fully integrated security service operating from one highly controlled, resourced and technologically sophisticated base – this will be hugely advantageous for our respective clients.”

“With the imminent Rugby World Cup event and Super City formation, our combined strengths will provide a much sought-after, all-inclusive service that the market clearly needs.”

Both companies share key values that have been integral to the growth each has achieved through heavy investment in recruitment, training and retention of the right people, advanced technology ensuring premium asset protection, and an unwavering commitment to superior customer service.

Strategic Security Director Alistair McGinn says “This is an incredibly exciting time for both parties, and for the industry. Combined, we become New Zealand’s most sophisticated security organisation, taking a quantum leap forward with a total offering of the latest technology and the best-of-the-best staff. This is a profound change in the direction of security management in New Zealand.”

Darien Rush Security’s combined staff total is now over 100 full time and 450 casual employees. The team will continue to focus on raising the benchmark through excellence.
