Southern Cross Protection is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of the Loss Prevention business of Charter Security Group, thereby creating Australia’s market leading national security company.

Loss Prevention is the field of security focused on retail crime, deploying security guards trained in the habits and practices of shop stealers to identify them, and thereby reduce theft.

Mike Ramsay, founder and Managing Director of Charter Security said of the acquisition, “I’m delighted to sell our Loss Prevention arm to Southern Cross Protection, which I recognise as a firm that shares my vision of excellence. My partners and I simply couldn’t have sold to a company of lesser integrity or that didn’t hold the core belief that a duty is owed to the client.”

Patrick Bourke, Managing Director of Southern Cross Protection, is similarly gratified, “I am thrilled that Charter’s Loss Prevention business will be a part of Southern Cross Protection. We believe the combination of skills and expertise provides a unique and valuable proposition for our customers. The culture of Charter is a perfect fit for our business – they offer specialised, customer-centric services which are innovative and highly effective.”
