CLEAR GROUP ACQUIRES SUTTON-BASED FIRE AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY

Clear Group has announced the acquisition of Delco Safety, a specialist fire safety and compliance consultancy based in Morden. The move strengthens Clear Group’s risk management division and adds a team of 19 professionals who bring expertise in fire risk assessments, safety inspections and compliance consultancy. Delco’s clients include local authorities, councils, housing associations, property managers and commercial property owners.

Group Chief Executive Mike Edgeley said the acquisition reflects Clear Group’s focus on building specialist capability in areas that matter most to clients. “The acquisition of Delco reflects our strategy to strengthen Clear Group’s risk management division by adding specialist expertise in fire safety – an area of growing importance for our clients,” he explained. “Delco’s strong reputation, robust compliance standards and complementary client base make it a natural fit for our group. Together, we deliver added value by combining tailored risk management services with thoughtfully structured insurance programmes, positioning Clear Group as a genuine risk advisor that helps enable our clients’ strategic success.”

For Delco, the partnership provides the platform to accelerate its own growth. Director Derek Andrews welcomed the opportunity, noting that joining Clear Group gives Delco both scale and support to broaden the services it can provide. “We share a deep commitment to compliance, quality and client service, and we’re excited to integrate our fire risk expertise into Clear Group’s wider offering,” he said.

The combination of the two firms will deliver enhanced, packaged risk management and insurance solutions, offering clients a stronger and more comprehensive service.
