Clear Group strengthens risk management division with acquisition of Delco Safety Limited

Headquartered in Morden, Delco Safety Limited employs 19 members of staff, including multiple Tier 3 fire risk assessors registered with the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, and provides a range of services. The latter encompass fire risk assessments, safety inspections and compliance consultancy.

The company’s clients include local authorities, councils, housing associations, property managers and commercial property owners.

Resilient and growing market

Delco Safety Limited operates in a resilient and growing market, underpinned by increasing regulatory scrutiny following the introduction of legislation such as the Building Safety Act 2022. The business has developed long-standing client relationships and generates recurring revenue through scheduled inspections and compliance reviews, while also securing new tender opportunities.

Importantly, Delco Safety Limited holds BAFE SP205, ISO 9001 and SafeContractor accreditations, duly underscoring the company’s continual commitment to quality and compliance.

The acquisition strengthens Clear Group’s specialist capabilities in building and fire safety and enables the Group to deliver a complete and integrated suite of risk management services for UK customers seeking fire safety advice.

Delco Safety Limited’s deep expertise will provide Clear Group’s property clients with access to professional fire risk assessments and advice, while the former’s established client base across housing associations and property managers can benefit from Clear Group’s wider risk management and insurance advisory expertise.

Specialist expertise

Mike Edgeley, CEO at the Clear Group, stated: “The acquisition of Delco Safety Limited reflects our strategy to grow Clear Group’s risk management division by adding specialist expertise in fire safety, which is an area of increasing importance for our clients. Delco Safety Limited’s strong reputation, robust compliance standards and complementary client base make it a natural fit for our Group.”

Edgeley concluded: “Through combining tailored risk management services with thoughtfully structured insurance programmes, we bring value to our clients as a genuine risk advisor and help to enable their strategic success.”

Derek Andrews, director at Delco Safety Limited, added: “Joining the Clear Group provides us with the scale and support needed to accelerate our growth and expand the range of services we can offer our clients. We share a commitment to compliance, quality and client service and we’re excited to bring our fire risk expertise into the wider Clear Group offering.”
