Corporate history

Westminster was founded in 1988 as a security systems business, Westminster Security Systems, supplying systems and equipment to the UK domestic and commercial marketplace.

In 1990, Westminster Security Systems was acquired by Menvier-Swain Group Plc, at which time Peter Fowler joined the group as Managing Director.

In 1996 Peter Fowler led a management buyout and in 1999 acquired London-based business, CSG (Fire and Security) Ltd.
