Two of the UK's providers of security services to the construction sector – Clarke Construction Security (CCS) and Permanex Security – have joined forces to form the Permanex CCS Group. The two companies combine 15 and 25 years of industry experience respectively.<br> <br> "This is an amazing opportunity for us to use the economies of scale that the merger provides, to introduce new technologies and deliver an outstanding level of service to our clients," states Carl Clarke, md of the new company. "It is business as usual with both companies continuing to service existing clients and our mission is to consolidate our "best in class" status within our sector over the coming months, to provide a complete security solution to our collective clients going forward."<br> <br> Already working for many of the UK's leading construction companies and with more than 400 sites currently being protected, the new multi-million pound business will provide easier access to a larger base of experienced technical engineers and has a strong sales pipeline, the newly formed company says. <br> <br> www.permanexccs.co.uk or enter E0937 on the reader enquiry card
