SmartWater Group

Acquisition of SmartWater Group, a market leading forensic and perimeter intrusion detection group offering technology-led security risk management. 

Heligan introduced and advised Freshstream on its majority investment in SmartWater Group, strategically positioning Freshstream as the clear long-term partner through differentiated sector insight.

SmartWater is a globally recognised forensic liquid that carries a unique forensic code to act both as a deterrent to crime but importantly to track and prove incidents of crime. PID Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary, provides mobile CCTV solutions. These armoured camera systems connect wirelessly to a central monitoring station to protect building sites, and critical infrastructure.

Reza Fardad, Partner at Freshstream commented:

“Thank you to all the team at Heligan. Your advice and knowledge of the security sector was instrumental in helping us understand the opportunity and to successfully complete the transaction.”
