The BAS Group intends to amalgamate its subsidiaries Integrated Technology Solutions Ltd and CCS Group Limited.

The group stated this will allow ITS customers to take advantage of the breadth and depth of expertise at CCS, and allow CCS to expand its offerings to include the audio-visual solutions ITS provides.

Greg Woods, general manager of ITS, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for both companies, not only for our customers but for our employees as well. This amalgamation will facilitate more complete solutions and better response times. It will also produce an expanded base of highly qualified technical staff.”

Peter Aldrich, general manager of CCS, said the two companies had worked together frequently in the years since ITS joined BAS.

He added: “We now aim to operate as one under CCS. Customers can rely on the same professional audio visual and automated solutions with the same dedication to high quality installation and support services.

“While the two companies have had very different focuses there is a lot of overlap between the two on both product offerings and technical skill sets.

“By amalgamating the two companies, BAS intends to exploit various synergies across both organisations offering more robust solutions and improved support services to existing and future clients.”

Creative and comprehensive audio visual solutions and services for high end residential and enterprise customers, has been the focus of ITS for more than 15 years.

The services including consultation, design, installation and maintenance to a broad client base, and the offerings have expanded to include room and lighting control systems, automated window treatments and solar shading solutions as well as digital signage and content management solutions.

CCS is a systems integrator with a portfolio of information and communications technology solutions. It also provide planning, design, implementation and ongoing support services for leading edge technology solutions that range from the cloud to the keyboard.

The announced change will result in ITS being amalgamated into CCS.

David Pugh, chairman of BAS Group, said: “As a result of the restructuring of the two companies, Mr Woods and BAS have agreed upon a mutual separation.

“I am pleased to advise that Mr Woods will be continuing his relationship with BAS as an independent electronic systems consultant and that there will be no redundancies as a result of this amalgamation.

“Finally I take this opportunity to thank Mr Woods for his dedicated service to BAS over the years and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”
