Sale of Vigilance Properties Limited to Orbis Protect

Orbis Protect (‘Orbis’), a UK market leader in specialist security and protection services, has completed the strategic acquisition of Vigilance Properties Limited (‘Vigilance’). Vigilance is a leading security specialist offering innovative people and technology security solutions. In joining the Orbis group of companies, Vigilance provides a unique solution set, differentiated from traditional security firms. Their tailored service includes security in residence, integrated technology solutions and high-end surveillance and close protection services.

BDO provided completion mechanism advice to the directors and shareholders of Vigilance, in order to support their negotiation of the enterprise to equity value bridge.

"Intuitive. Insightful. Pragmatic. Responsive. Results-orientated. These were primary qualities of the excellent BDO team that guided us through our due diligence process. Inevitably, we navigated significant challenges together under significant pressure to successfully sell our business of 16 years. Throughout we benefited greatly from the team's calm, considered and knowledgeable approach. BDO contributed significantly to the successful transaction we ultimately achieved."
