Ben Dorks, Ideagen CEO
The move enhances Ideagen's portfolio of environmental, health, safety and quality (EHSQ) solutions while reinforcing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Speaking about the acquisition, Ideagen CEO, Ben Dorks, said: 'Lone workers are often the most vulnerable of any workforce, either because they are going into unpredictable environments or because it's difficult to alert help if they get into difficulty.
'Organizations have a duty to protect their people, but this is a challenge when the nature of their work takes them into situations they can't control. For industries like health and social care, agriculture or construction, this is a daily occurrence.
'The addition of WorkSafe Guardian to our portfolio demonstrates our commitment to investing in powerful safety solutions that help businesses protect their staff and operations and address a growing segment of worker safety concern.'
With more than 15% of the global workforce estimated to be classified as a lone worker (source: National Safety Council), the need for innovative safety systems to protect this workforce has never been greater.
Greg Lindner, Co-founder and Director of WorkSafe Guardian, said: 'Joining Ideagen represents an important milestone for WorkSafe Guardian. It provides us with an incredible opportunity to bring our innovative solutions to a much broader global audience, while also enabling us to offer our customers an expanded portfolio of tools and resources to address their compliance needs.
'We're excited to combine our expertise with Ideagen's global network and industry-leading solutions, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value and support to our clients.'
WorkSafe Guardian advanced lone-worker safety solution offers an app-based service that provides 24/7 monitoring, real-time emergency response and reporting features. By combining their industry expertise with Ideagen's global reach and innovative EHS platform, this acquisition will streamline safety management processes and reduce risks for businesses.
The acquisition aligns with Ideagen's broader mission to empower organizations with cutting-edge software to enhance operational excellence and drive compliance in risk-heavy environments.
From healthcare professionals working alone on home visits to field workers in utilities and construction, the Ideagen WorkSafe Guardian suite will deliver integrated tools designed to safeguard team members wherever their responsibilities take them.
This is Ideagen's fifth acquisition of 2025 and underscores Ideagen's commitment to building a robust suite of solutions existing within its Asia-Pacific footprint, which already includes Beakon (acquired earlier in 2025), Ideagen Damstra (January 2024), Ideagen Plant Assessor (January 2024), Ideagen OpCentral (November 2023), Ideagen Lucidity (October 2023), Ideagen OnePlace Solutions (May 2023) and Ideagen CompliSpace (December 2021).

Independent English football regulator fast-tracked for November start by UK government
The Labour Party is fast-tracking secondary legislation to ensure the powers of the new independent football regulator (IFR) will be switched on by November 1. The move, led by Lisa Nandy — the UK's Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport — will increase pressure on under-fire owners such as Sheffield Wednesday's Dejphon Chansiri to sell the club before the regulator becomes legally established. Advertisement Under a new bill, owners can be stripped of their right to run clubs and the IFR can sanction takeovers at a price of their choice. Though the authority is yet to form a board to work with chair David Kogan and has distance to cover before it becomes fully operational and able to work with clubs so they can understand new requirements, progress has been made with the recruitment of a CEO. Richard Monks, who spent 18 years at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is close to being announced and will begin in the role shortly. A spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) would not confirm Monks' hire but explained that economic distress at Wednesday, as well as Morecambe, who are suspended from the fifth-tier National League following their relegation from League Two last season, has increased the pace at which the government has been working through the law since July 21, when the Football Governance Act was passed. 'The ongoing challenges at Morecambe, Sheffield Wednesday and many other clubs before them show exactly why the Football Governance Act was needed and why we acted to push the legislation forward in the face of opposition,' the spokesperson said. 'The launch of the IFR is a priority. We recognise the need to move forward as quickly as possible whether that be implementing the required secondary legislation or appointing the regulator's board.' Labour's sports minister, Stephanie Peacock met with Morecambe fans last week and is in touch with Wednesday supporters to set up a discussion. Meanwhile, DCMS suggests engagement with Morecambe and Sheffield members of parliament is ongoing. () Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Grealish looks to reignite his career after joining Everton on a season-long loan deal from Man City
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — England midfielder Jack Grealish will look to reignite his career after joining Everton on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Grealish, one of the poster boys of English soccer, became the country's most expensive player after a 2021 move from Aston Villa to City for 100 million pounds (then $139 million). He was a regular pick in City's historic 2022-23 season when the team won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup. However, Grealish has fallen out of favor over the last two seasons, not even making City's squad for the recent Club World Cup, and has chosen to move to Everton for a season ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America. 'I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton - it's massive for me, honestly,' Grealish said. 'This is a great club, with great fans." The loan switch removes not only a high-earner from City's wage bill but also one of the many attacking midfielders built up in City's stacked squad. Grealish often had a free, roaming role when making his name at Villa, but had to be more disciplined and restricted as a left-sided forward in City manager Pep Guardiola's system of play. Everton manager David Moyes will try to get the best out of Grealish again, with the team's first match of the Premier League season at Leeds on Monday. 'As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go,' Grealish said. ___ AP soccer:
