Note to Editors:

Admitted to AIM in March 2003, Pentagon Protection plc is a global specialist in the development and application of glass protection window film to provide a cost-effective and immediate solution to many problems normally associated with building flat glass.

As experts in enhanced security and blast mitigation, in September 2008 Pentagon acquired SDS Group Limited, an established company of over 30 years and a leading supplier of security equipment and products. SDS is also a world leader in security consulting and training, these services being led by Dr John Wyatt. John is highly respected in his field and also widely known both to the UK and overseas; his knowledge and reputation are substantial assets to the wider Group.

SDS Group supplies equipment, including highly-specialist security and search equipment, mainly to governments, police forces and security and defence forces in the UK and around the world. SDS has strong relationships with customers and extends their offering to clients by providing expert knowledge and further training and consultancy. This acquisition supports plans for continued expansion of the Group's activities in the security industry which is affected less by the world economic downturn than many sectors.
