Our Journey So Far
OmniZone - Active Maintenance
OmniZone specialised in Active Fire Safety, delivering a comprehensive range of solutions including installation, commissioning, maintenance, and repairs for active fire safety systems. Recognised as market leaders in the active fire safety sector, OmniZone built a strong reputation for quality and expertise across all aspects of active systems.
in 2018 OmniZone merged with Ventro, combining strengths to offer clients a complete fire safety solution, encompassing both active and passive fire protection services under one trusted name and brand.

Firntec - Group Expansion
Firntec, a specialist division within the Ventro Group, plays a critical role in supporting the Group’s mission to deliver fully compliant, end-to-end fire safety solutions. As a leading provider of fire risk assessments, fire door and compartmentation surveys, and consultancy services, Firntec brings deep technical expertise and a strong compliance-driven approach to the Group’s portfolio. Its team of qualified assessors and surveyors ensures clients receive accurate, actionable insights to help them meet their legal obligations and maintain the highest fire safety standards.
Firntec’s integration into the Ventro Group strengthens the Group’s capability to provide a holistic fire safety service, from consultancy and assessment through to installation, remedial works, and ongoing maintenance.

DFP - Our First Acquisition
Ventro Group's acquisition of Dorset Fire Protection (DFP) marked a significant milestone in its strategic growth within the UK fire compliance sector. Announced in November 2024, this acquisition was fully self-funded, underscoring Ventro's financial strength and commitment to expanding its services without external borrowing.
The integration of DFP enhances Ventro's capacity to deliver comprehensive fire compliance and security services across the UK. By combining resources and expertise, Ventro aims to provide seamless, end-to-end solutions for clients, from initial surveys to project completion. This move also strengthens Ventro's position as a leading, accredited provider in the fire safety industry.

KLAR Partners - Strategic Investment
Ventro Group has secured a strategic investment from KLAR Partners, marking a key step in its mission to become the UK’s leading provider of safety and compliance services. The investment will support Ventro’s continued growth, helping scale operations and reinforce its position as a trusted name in building safety. KLAR Partners, specialists in backing essential service providers with high growth potential, recognised Ventro as a standout opportunity in a market where quality, reliability and scale are critical.

"It was important our legacy continued with the right partner. Ventro shared our values and delivered a smooth, respectful and efficient acquisition that benefits our staff and clients alike."
"Since joining Ventro, their management team have worked tirelessly to accommodate DFP’s customer base, utilising their leading position within the industry. Ventro greatly expanded the breadth of services DFP offer, for a complete fire safety and compliance solution."


The Acquisition Journey
Following the successful, self-funded acquisition of Dorset Fire Protection, Ventro Group is now poised to accelerate its growth strategy through targeted acquisitions supported by external investment. This approach will enable us to scale our operations, expand our national footprint, and enhance our service offerings across the fire safety and compliance sectors. We are actively seeking like-minded businesses that align with our values and commitment to quality, as we continue to build a market-leading group delivering end-to-end fire compliance solutions across the UK.
