RHI Industrials

What RHI Industrials does

RHI Industrials (legal entity R H Irving Industrials Limited, Company Number 4233669) is a UK-based, privately held security solutions provider founded in 2002 and operating from a head office in Newcastle upon Tyne with a registered office at The Shard in London and additional operational sites in Bromsgrove (Automation Division), Washington (R H Irving Precision Engineering fabrication workshop), and East Bridgford (Earthing Services Division). The company delivers turnkey perimeter security for Critical National Infrastructure, utilities, military, and manufacturing clients across the UK and into Europe, with field-based engineers positioned nationwide for installation, service, and maintenance work. Its core portfolio spans hostile vehicle mitigation (PAS68 and IWA14-1 certified automatic and manual gates, bollards, road blockers, barriers, beams and street furniture), electronic security (CCTV, intruder detection, perimeter intrusion detection systems via Gallagher PowerFence), entrance control and access control systems, earthing system design and installation, civil engineering and groundwork, and bespoke steel, aluminium, and stainless steel fabrication.

RHI Industrials monetises through a mix of one-time installation projects, recurring service and maintenance contracts, professional design and engineering services, and hardware fabrication sales, with pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than published rates. The company is a Gallagher Security Channel Partner (the lead PIDS manufacturer in the UK utilities market) and a long-standing Inova Gates UK channel partner, with a strategic association with Mitie Security & Fire displayed via co-branding on its website. It holds an unusually dense accreditation stack relevant to UK CNI bidding: Achilles Power and Tech verification, PSSA Installer Membership, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, EN1090-1 Factory Production Control, SSAIB, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, and dhf membership, plus PAS68/IWA14-1 product certifications. Customer concentration sits with a small set of major UK utilities and CNI energy facility operators, against which it secured a direct (rather than tier-two) service and maintenance award in 2022 and was named Gallagher Champion Business of 2022 for record-breaking business levels.

• CLD Fencing Systems: UK manufacturer of high-security fencing and physical security barriers including LPS 1175- and PAS-rated systems, frequently installed at CNI, data centre, and utility sites. Comparable to RHI's physical perimeter offering.
• Barkers Fencing: UK manufacturer of high-security fencing, gates, and hostile vehicle mitigation products, serving CNI, utilities, and government end-users. Comparable UK perimeter security specialist.
• Harper Chalice: UK specialist in perimeter intrusion detection systems (electronic and fence-mounted detection) and electrified security fencing for prisons, utilities, and CNI. Direct peer in the same perimeter security niche RHI serves.
• Heald Ltd: UK-based manufacturer and installer of PAS68/IWA14-1 hostile vehicle mitigation products (bollards, road blockers, rising arm barriers). Direct peer to RHI in HVM, serving similar CNI, utility, and high-security end-markets.

• Gallagher Security: Global manufacturer of perimeter intrusion detection, access control, and PowerFence systems; RHI's primary technology partner and channel ally. Included as a peer because it sets the product standards against which RHI's installation services are differentiated.
