Formed in 1998 following an opportunity to deliver data infrastructure services into local education sector, PDS (Paragon Data Services) quickly established itself as a reliable delivery partner to the NGFL (National Grid for Learning) to schools across the UK
Over the next 20 years, PDS focused on expanding product portfolio with diversification into Fire alarm detection, Access Control, CCTV, Audio Visual and Fibre Optic Infrastructure.
PDS continued to navigate the ever-changing market landscape, emerging even stronger. The company secured prestigious projects and became a strategic supplier for the next phase of BSF Schools and Academies in Hull, successfully completing numerous healthcare projects across the region, and undertaking large-scale national rollouts for companies like Blacks Outdoors, JD Sports, Siemens Gamesa and Reckitt Benckiser.
A Powerful Partnership. March 2020 marked a significant step forward for PDS as we became part of the 24-7 Group of Companies. This strategic move built upon our successful collaboration in the past on large-scale projects. As a member of the 24-7 Group, PDS continues to operate autonomously while leveraging the group’s extensive resources and expertise. This powerful partnership has allowed us to accelerate our growth while maintaining our commitment to exceptional customer service.
Unifying The Brand. With being part of 24-7 Group for the past 5 years and establishing ourselves as the Security, Fire and Data division, we felt that it was the right time to adopt the 24-7 Group branding and change our name to 24-7 SFD, as we grow into forming part of the 24-7 Group Circular Delivery Model: a group of specialist engineering businesses, that act as one. 24-7 Group integrate FM, engineering, and technical services to create and self-deliver national leading facilities and infrastructure solutions.
