About PTSG. A short history – an incredible story
PTSG was founded in 2007 to fulfil an industry need for a single provider of multiple specialist services to the construction and FM sectors.
Since then, we’ve grown steadily, securing major new and renewed contracts that reinforce our role as a trusted, multi-service partner.
The Group, headquartered in Castleford, West Yorkshire, employs around 3,000 people in the UK and Europe. This staffing allows us to mobilise our experts to any site, regardless of location. Consequently, we serve more than 300,000 buildings for over 30,000 customers in a wide range of industry sectors.
Our multinational presence grew substantially with the acquisition of Flame Control in February 2024. Based in the municipality of Harderwijk, the company specialises in fire alarm systems, first aid, evacuation, extinguishing systems and extinguishing agents. Flame Control has a team of 40 specialists that work extensively across the Netherlands. Their specialists work seven days a week to improve fire safety in businesses and residential properties.

1. Fall protection and access and safety

3. Specialist cleaning, maintenance, and façade access
