Why Pye-Barker Acquired PEAK Alarm Company
“Starting with PEAK Alarm Company’s founder, Jerry D. Howe, our success has always been about people – the customers we serve and the dedicated, knowledgeable individuals who work here,” says Donald Weakley, president at PEAK, in the joint announcement.
“I and our other leaders – COO Clint Beecroft and CFO Fred Johnson – want to ensure all our people are taken care of during this next phase of the business,” he says. “I’m proud to have PEAK join the Pye-Barker family, which holds the same values.”
“PEAK’s story is a lot like Pye-Barker’s. As a young entrepreneur, Jerry Howe had a dream to protect his community, and through hard work and looking after his people, he created an industry leading organization,” says Bart Proctor, CEO at Pye-Barker. “I’m honored to work alongside the talented security and alarm professionals on the PEAK team as we welcome them to the Pye-Barker family.”
PEAK’s employees, including Beecroft and Johnson, will continue to serve customers locally.
