FMG has acquired GRG Public Resources – a specialist in call handling for vehicle removal and emergency boarding of premises for the blue-light industry – for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition, says FMG, will provides a platform for it to expand and evolve existing services into the blue-light sector.

The incident management and roadside services company explained that GRG’s reputation as an “effective and efficient” handler of police and fire services contracts, will enhance the breadth and customer proposition of the Huddersfield-based business, operating in complementary market conditions and bringing a further depth of knowledge and expertise through the addition of GRG operatives and skilled personnel.

Claire Owens, FMG managing director, said she was “delighted” to complete the acquisition of GRG, which would place it as a “front-runner” in the blue light market as its customers' needs evolve.

She added: “The acquisition ensures we remain robust for the long-term, with the addition of VRO’s, the continued ability for fast and complete geographic coverage, the harnessing of first-class proprietary systems and, importantly, the investment in skilled and experienced personnel to ensure our customers remain delighted with efficiency and knowledge-led solutions.

“I'd like to welcome the GRG team to FMG and the wider Redde Northgate family and look forward to enhancing this important area of the business."

"We continue to work hard to position FMG at the forefront of the industries in which we operate, providing first-class sustainable solutions for our clients and customers,” concluded Owens.
