integrator.
“We continue to invest in the electronic security and IT sectors, the Nelbay Solutions acquisition further reinforces
Advanced Security and our geographic coverage” says parent company, TPT Group CEO, Mike Marr.
The acquisition extends the Advanced Security Group geographical footprint in New Zealand taking total offices to 14 and
the wider TPT Group to 18. Nelbay Solutions Limited, provides electronic security, fire and lift services to the upper
South Island.
Advanced Security is New Zealand’s largest dedicated corporate and industrial electronic security provider, with many
high-profile corporate and government clients. With a strong presence in the North Island, this acquisition allows
Advanced Security to strengthen its operations in the South Island.
Hayden George, Advanced Security General Manager, commented “With an existing client base through the Nelson and
Marlborough regions, the acquisition of Nelbay Solutions is another step forward in our progression to be where our
customers are and provide local support and services in this region. It’s great to have the addition of Nigel and his
team join the Advanced Security Group business and we are excited about the prospect of growing this region. We see
excellent alignment between our businesses, including company culture, commitment to service delivery and an aspiration
for innovation that we believe will serve our customers well into the future”.
Nigel Reid of Nelbay Solutions added “We are excited to move forward. It is great to have more support for the business
and we are excited to keep providing a high level of service to our existing clients and to keep growing the clients we
service in the Nelson region”.
Parent company TPT Group acquired Auckland based IT company Sentinel Technologies in late 2017 following a string of
other acquisitions around New Zealand including Concord Security in 2016, Struthers Electronics & Security in 2014 and Systems.Com in 2010. The company expects to make a further acquisition announcement late August.
Advanced Security has been recognised through numerous awards and received accolades through a number of external audits
including that of the New Zealand Security Association with Gary Morrison, CEO Stating, ”It is our opinion that Advanced
Security Group operates the appropriate standards and in compliance with, or above the NZSA codes of practice.” The ISO
accredited business also achieved 96% with a recent SiteWise external audit.
Nelbay has been providing services to clients in the Nelson region since 1996. Staff will remain with the company as it
is incorporated into Advanced Security this month.
