BTA member Gray & Creech Office Solutions of Greensboro, North Carolina, has successfully acquired Bailey Access and Security LLC in Raleigh, North Carolina, effective July 8, 2024. With the acquisition of Bailey Access and Security LLC, Gray & Creech will become fully certified and licensed with the state of North Carolina in low-voltage electrical and licensed to sell commercial security equipment by the North Carolina Alarm Board.

Bailey Access and Security Owner Joe Bailey also brings 23 years of experience in the security industry. He will lead Gray & Creech's security division as operations manager.

"Over the past three years, our security division has made significant strides and we recognized the need for expansion to propel us to the next level," said Alec Bean, owner and president, Gray & Creech. "This strategic move places us on par as a leading security business and enhances our capabilities with additional resources and specialized expertise for our Triad and Triangle clients."

Bailey Access and Security offices will be closing as they combine with Gray & Creech and will continue operations under the Gray & Creech name. The entire Bailey Access and Security team will join Gray & Creech's Raleigh office team, as no positions will be lost due to the acquisition. Gray & Creech has fully staffed offices in both Greensboro and Raleigh, focusing on their three core pillars: IT, imaging and security. The company has also recently doubled its footprint in Greensboro to a 12,000-square-foot office space on Wendover Ave.
