New strategic co-operative enters the security market

London, UK

With a mission to help small and medium sized companies to catalyse their growth, a new co-operative, Osprey Group, was establish in May 2010. The business model is quite unique, with no executives on the board, but only partners willing to spend a lot of time and effort for business development of products and companies that would not otherwise be recognised by the market.
Osprey Group has two business lines, "Investments" for small companies seeking venture capital for introduction to the PLUS / AIM markets in London and "Trading" which is a commercial heart of the small businesses that want to do business abroad but lack the contacts outside their home market.

At this moment, the Osprey Partners are to be found in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and Macedonia. A partner can be a person or a company.

Recently Osprey signed two distribution agreements - one with a new partner in Sweden, Vindico Security AB and the second with the UK based IBP-Group Ltd, for the distribution of the company’s robbery protection products outside the UK.

The initiator of this partnership co-operation is Digby Ram, an experienced businessman within the security industry and previously chairman of two UK based crime prevention initiatives and also previously section chairman and director of the British Security Industry Association.

Osprey presents a unique opportunity for small firms to grow organically within an international network without large investments. The spread of the partner-network also provides Osprey Group access to new business opportunities and products brought to the table by partners and also developed in house.

Osprey offers help to businesses to adopt its unique structure so that within a cooperative atmosphere, businesses and their employees can, as a team, work towards growth whilst maintaining a low break-even point.

“Osprey is a unique structure – one which puts people at the heart of business.” says Digby Ram. “The profit share formula is negotiated between all partner/employees; so it enables an equitable, cooperative philosophy to thrive and grow in our market economy. We believe that we can help save jobs whilst providing an attractive space for capital investment. It is suitable for businesses which have good business models and, of course, who are committed to their employees.”
