Lynchburg Alarm

Lynchburg Alarm was added to the family in 1989 when Richmond Alarm Company

purchased the assets of Advanced Defense Incorporated of Lynchburg. The assets included several

hundred monitored alarm systems, two vans, and one technician, Matt Eland. Over the years Matt

served as technician, salesperson, branch manager, and recruiter, while building the branch.

By 2005 the office employed 5 people and the growth of the Lynchburg area indicated great

potential. In 2005, Wayne Boggs, President of Richmond Alarm, named Sharon Kenney, then

sales manager of the Richmond office, to the job of Branch Manager, with the charge to build the

Lynchburg market. Within two years the office had grown to 10 employees, and sales were

growing. By 2007 with the acquisition of CEVA Security, the Lynchburg office was servicing

over 2,000 clients in the Western Virginia area.
