Ventro Group has completed the acquisition of Harrold Jones Services, a respected Midlands based provider of electrical, security, fire safety and building refurbishment services.

The transaction represents a significant step in Ventro’s growth strategy and strengthens its position as a leading national building compliance partner.

The acquisition enhances Ventro’s established capabilities in electrical and security services, bringing additional technical expertise and reinforcing the Group’s commitment to delivering fully integrated building compliance solutions across the UK. Harrold Jones Services, founded in 1979, brings a long standing reputation for reliability, innovation and high quality service delivery, particularly in electrical and security disciplines.

Harvey Melvin, CEO of Ventro Group, said: “This acquisition is an exciting milestone for Ventro. This is a strategic acquisition for Ventro Group to expand on our existing electrical and security offering, further improving our industry leading expertise and experience. HJS’s commitment to quality means we can deliver even greater value to our clients, helping us achieve our goal of becoming the UK’s leading and most trusted building compliance partner.”

Brian Rowley, Managing Director of Harrold Jones Services, added: “We know that with Ventro our customers will benefit from the continuity of our dedicated team but also from Ventro’s extensive expertise, innovative systems and processes, and full suite of compliance services. This partnership ensures our customers and staff can rely on a company capable of supporting their needs today and beyond.”

HJS’s long serving workforce will join Ventro Group, creating new opportunities for professional development within a rapidly expanding organisation. Ventro confirmed its commitment to retaining the continuity and customer relationships that have defined HJS’s success, while supporting the team with enhanced systems, broader service capability and nationwide coverage.

Clients of both organisations will benefit from an expanded and fully integrated service offering. The combined strengths of Ventro’s national fire, electrical and security expertise with HJS’s specialist technical capability will enable improved response times, increased support resources and more streamlined service delivery. Customers can expect continuity from familiar teams coupled with the advantages of working with a larger, innovation driven compliance partner.

The acquisition aligns with Ventro’s long term strategy to build a comprehensive end to end compliance service that supports organisations in meeting their regulatory obligations while improving operational efficiency. With foundations in Plymouth and operations nationwide, Ventro continues to grow its presence and capability through targeted investment and strategic partnerships.
