The owners of BWS Security Systems Limited have sold the company to Sonmarg Capital.

BWS is a market-leading provider of security, fire and safety systems for both commercial and residential customers. Established in 1988 and headquartered in Bath, UK, it supplies, installs, maintains and monitors fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV and access control systems, principally across the Southwest but working across the UK.

Established in 2019, Sonmarg Capital is a permanent capital investor servicing small to medium-sized companies across a range of industries. It focuses on sales by owner-managers across the business services, software and IT services, healthcare and education sectors.

Oaklins Evelyn Partners, based in the UK, acted as the exclusive sell-side advisors to BWS Security Systems.
