Wellwood is pleased to announce the merger with EDL Comms, a trusted security and telecoms company. This merger is a major step forward in the growth of Wellwood’s Security Division, which launched earlier this year as part of the company’s broader commitment to delivering complete technology solutions.
Through the merger, Wellwood gains additional expertise, a loyal customer base and extensive hands-on experience. Allan Brown, owner of EDL Comms and a highly respected figure in the security and telecoms industry, will be joining the team at Wellwood and stepping into the role of Security Manager. Allan brings with him a wealth of experience in the installation and maintenance of telecoms, CCTV, intruder and fire alarms and access control solutions.
Allan’s appointment follows the planned retirement of Brian Davidson, who played a crucial role in launching the Security division earlier this year. Brian’s industry knowledge and passion for delivering quality service have laid a solid foundation for the division’s success.
“We’d like to thank Brian for his valuable contribution to Wellwood in laying the groundwork for our Security Division and helping us launch it with such strength and professionalism. We wish Brian all the very best in his well-earned retirement,” said Drew Westwood, Managing Director at Wellwood. “We are also delighted that Allan and EDL Comms are merging with us and fully support him in his new role. Allan brings a fantastic blend of technical expertise and sales acumen, and with him stepping into the Security Manager role, we’re confident the company will continue to grow from strength to strength.”
Brian Davidson shared his thoughts on the transition: "It has been a privilege to join Wellwood and assist in laying the foundations for the start of their security division journey. I hand over to Allan, impressed with the Wellwood team's desire, commitment and drive in taking onboard new technology and their ability to present and deliver professional security system solutions. A great team with a genuine customer focus. I wish Allan and everyone at Wellwood every success as they move into a new and exciting chapter."
Allan Brown also expressed his enthusiasm about the future: “Joining Wellwood is a fantastic opportunity to build on what we’ve achieved at EDL Comms and take it even further. I’m excited to lead the Security Division and work with a brilliant team focused on delivering innovative, reliable, and secure solutions to clients.”
