Chorley car security firm that partners with BMW, Subaru and Yamaha announces takeover expansion
A Chorley-based vehicle security business that works with global car manufacturers has announced a big expansion.
Scorpion Group, which is headquartered in Drumhead Road, works with the likes of BMW, Subaru and Yamaha and operates internationally, with offices across Europe and North America, including Italy and Canada.
Now it has snapped up London-based Trackershop, enhancing its product offering and strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving vehicle security sector. Cowgills advised Scorpion Group on the deal, which builds on its February 2025 acquisition of Trackerteam, another transaction supported by the firm's dealmakers.
Andrew Jeffrey, chief executive of Scorpion Group, said: "The acquisition of Trackershop is a natural progression for Scorpion Group as we continue to invest in businesses that complement our expertise and enhance the value we deliver to customers. "Trackershop is a respected brand led by a talented team, and we are excited for the opportunities this creates for the group."
“Ambition”
James Kennedy, partner at Cowgills, who led on the deal, added: "We are delighted to have supported Scorpion Group on this latest acquisition, building on our work together earlier last year. This transaction demonstrates Scorpion’s clear growth strategy and ambition within the vehicle security market. "It has been a pleasure working closely with the Scorpion team to help deliver another successful outcome."
Mark Carse, founder of Trackershop, said: "Building Trackershop has been a huge part of my life, and I’m proud of the strong brand and customer first approach we’ve created. The Scorpion Group is a natural home for the business, and I’m excited about what this combination will unlock for customers and the wider team. As I retire, I’m delighted that my sons, Deege and Shaun, will continue to support the business and help drive growth within the Scorpion Group."
Deege and Shaun Carse added: "We’re looking forward to working closely with the Scorpion team to build on Trackershop’s success and help accelerate the next stage of growth. "Scorpion’s experience and scale will allow us to enhance our offer, strengthen our capabilities and continue delivering the service Trackershop is known for.”
