Our Strategy

Lockford Capital was founded in 2025 with a single focus: to build the UK’s leading group of access control and security businesses through disciplined acquisitions and operational leadership.

We target established, profitable companies providing essential building security, door entry, and maintenance services. Each acquisition is selected for its operational strength, cultural fit, and recurring service revenue base.

Lockford acquires one to two businesses per year, taking a long-term view on integration and growth. A dedicated Managing Director remains in place within each operating company, supported by Gateview’s central team on finance, systems, and strategic development.

This is not a volume-driven roll-up. It’s a long-term platform built to strengthen the UK’s security infrastructure and create enduring value for founders, teams, and investors.
