Risk-led intelligent solution provider Amberstone Security (“Amberstone”) has set the coordinates for
significant business growth over the next five years after receiving a strategic investment from the Argenbright Group (“Argenbright”), a provider of human capital services headquartered in Atlanta, GA, USA. With this development, Argenbright will re-establish its UK presence and expand into Europe with Amberstone as its platform company.

This investment, combined with Argenbright Group’s track record in security services over four decades, will transform Amberstone into a top-five player in the UK in the coming years and help in continuing its excellent service to the existing clients and expand into new sectors and verticals. Argenbright was in discussions with Amberstone for the last several months culminating in the signing of this deal on August 1, 2022.

“There are a lot of parallels between the two businesses in that we are both entrepreneurial market disruptors who have always looked to change the narrative of the security industry and make the services on offer even more bespoke and customer-centric,” said Jason Trigg, Managing Director of Amberstone.

“This investment is a validation of Amberstone’s strategy and leadership in providing its client with innovative security and technology solutions. This is an opportunity to accelerate our growth plan and become the largest privately held security services provider in the UK in the short to medium term,” added Trigg.

“As a part of Argenbright’s global footprint, this investment in Amberstone to support Jason and his UK leadership team will resonate well with our existing clients and other trusted business relationships,” said Karan Ishwar, CEO of the Argenbright Group. “We will invest in growing our UK security business on the Amberstone platform by adding significant capabilities in account management, sales and selective strategic acquisitions.

“We look forward to servicing our valued clients as a trusted partner delivering innovative risk management solutions provided through unmatched security services and cutting-edge technology solutions with the help of our best-in-class team at Amberstone. We are particularly impressed by Jason and his senior leadership team who have created an exceptional company and will continue to lead it in the future,” added Ishwar.

“We are excited to partner with Jason and the team at Amberstone. This transaction is at the core of our
strategy to enhance our portfolio by adding a security services business in the UK and underscore our unique brand of legendary service and technology-driven solutions to valued clients globally. Over the next 5 years, we plan to re-establish our leadership position in the UK where we have built successful businesses in the past,” said Frank A. Argenbright Jr., Executive Chairman of Argenbright Group. “We are excited to be back in the security business in the UK and look forward to sharing my experience in helping Jason take the business to the next level”, added Argenbright.
