SSRG Adds Investment & Bank Backing to Fuel Growth – GlobeNewswire

Published

 on


CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scarlet Security & Risk Group (SSRG) further advances its goal of increasing capacity and reach for its clients and continuing to provide them with complex security solutions.

The company is excited to announce a restructuring of its ownership group and the addition of a major financing partner to further support these goals and expand its capabilities.

SSRG has seen significant growth, both organically and through acquisition, over the last five years, including its recent purchases of Lions Gate Risk Management Group and Arc Protection Corp. The expansion in its suite of services also brought a large group of subject matter experts to the SSRG executive and management teams.

Further building on these achievements, effective September 30, 2022, Stephen Reid of Trilogy Capital joined SSRG as an investor, shareholder, and board member. Stephen is a highly experienced investor and business growth expert who specializes in M&A and strategic partnerships with a specific focus on founder-run businesses. He is a welcome addition to the leadership team.

Mr. Reid commented, “Trilogy sees many opportunities and is focused on investing in ‘top tier’ management teams. SSRG is one of the best managed growth companies we have ever seen, and we recognize the potential of the team to become the national leader in high end security services.”

As part of this transaction, Patrick Doyle, founder, CEO, and majority shareholder of SSRG, will increase his holdings further illustrating his commitment.

Mr. Doyle commented, “Our capacity to deliver expertise to our clients and bring thoughtful, integrated solutions for complex use cases has significantly increased in recent years. We firmly believe these changes further set us, and our clients, up for success and will allow for tremendous service delivery and expansion in the coming years.”

Mr. Doyle went on to say, “The Canadian security landscape is dominated by several large, multi-national providers and many small to medium founder-led outfits. We aim to be a major consolidator of the quality firms that bring an intimate understanding of their operating environments but may lack the scale to compete on much larger enterprise and national contracts.”

In unison with Trilogy Capital and Mr. Doyle, Canadian Western Bank/CWB Maxium Financial has become a strategic capital provider for SSRG to further its ambitious growth initiatives.

With its added financial backing, SSRG seeks to become the Canadian firm of choice for discerning owners seeking scale, succession, growth and the support and capacity of joining a larger team with a local approach.

Tesla shares soar more than 14% as Trump win is seen boosting Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company

Published

 on

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Tesla soared Wednesday as investors bet that the electric vehicle maker and its CEO Elon Musk will benefit from Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Tesla stands to make significant gains under a Trump administration with the threat of diminished subsidies for alternative energy and electric vehicles doing the most harm to smaller competitors. Trump’s plans for extensive tariffs on Chinese imports make it less likely that Chinese EVs will be sold in bulk in the U.S. anytime soon.

“Tesla has the scale and scope that is unmatched,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, in a note to investors. “This dynamic could give Musk and Tesla a clear competitive advantage in a non-EV subsidy environment, coupled by likely higher China tariffs that would continue to push away cheaper Chinese EV players.”

Tesla shares jumped 14.8% Wednesday while shares of rival electric vehicle makers tumbled. Nio, based in Shanghai, fell 5.3%. Shares of electric truck maker Rivian dropped 8.3% and Lucid Group fell 5.3%.

Tesla dominates sales of electric vehicles in the U.S, with 48.9% in market share through the middle of 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Subsidies for clean energy are part of the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022. It included tax credits for manufacturing, along with tax credits for consumers of electric vehicles.

Musk was one of Trump’s biggest donors, spending at least $119 million mobilizing Trump’s supporters to back the Republican nominee. He also pledged to give away $1 million a day to voters signing a petition for his political action committee.

In some ways, it has been a rocky year for Tesla, with sales and profit declining through the first half of the year. Profit did rise 17.3% in the third quarter.

The U.S. opened an investigation into the company’s “Full Self-Driving” system after reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, including one that killed a pedestrian. The investigation covers roughly 2.4 million Teslas from the 2016 through 2024 model years.

And investors sent company shares tumbling last month after Tesla unveiled its long-awaited robotaxi at a Hollywood studio Thursday night, seeing not much progress at Tesla on autonomous vehicles while other companies have been making notable progress.

Tesla began selling the software, which is called “Full Self-Driving,” nine years ago. But there are doubts about its reliability.

The stock is now showing a 16.1% gain for the year after rising the past two days.
