About this business
Founded in 2018, this Swansea company supplies, installs and maintains access control, door entry and visitor management systems for public buildings, hospitals, universities and commercial landlords. It employs 76 people from a leased industrial estate unit, and the business could relocate. Turnover has drifted slightly from £8.51m to £8.25m, but adjusted EBITDA has climbed from £1.08m to £1.39m as margins improved. Net profit was £1.12m. A buyer gets scale, a large engineering team and a solid base of service income.
