Canpro Global Services Inc. and King-Reed & Associates LP have amalgamated to create the largest full-service risk mitigation and investigation company in Canada.
Canpro Global Services Inc. is headquartered in Vancouver and has 11 offices throughout Western Canada. With more than 300 employees, it produces risk mitigation services through its five subsidiaries — investigations, HRservices, risk solutions, training resources and labour risk management.
King-Reed & Associates LP is an investigations firm headquartered in Toronto with a staff of more than 170. Since 1984, King-Reed has served the corporate, legal, insurance and financial markets, providing investigations in the areas of fraud, intellectual property, due diligence, surveillance, pre¿employment screening, intelligence gathering services and threat risk assessments.
The new organization, Canpro King-Reed LP, will have combined annual revenues in excess of $40 million.
Client sectors include government, corporate, financial, legal, extractive and insurance industries. Client services include investigations, security and risk consulting, pre¿employment screening, occupational health and safety and labour risk management.
The combined firm will deliver uniform reporting and methodology and a single point of contact for national coverage. Clients will now have access to expanded technology, geographic coverage, resources and industry specialists across Canada and in some international locations.
The merger is the result of the private equity investment in both firms by Granite Global Solutions.
“Granite Global Solutions is proud to have facilitated bringing together these two great Canadian success stories that complement each other perfectly and can seamlessly continue to grow and develop in new and existing markets.” said Murray Wallace, president and CEO of Granite Global Solutions.
