Douglas John Pinteau and Richard Andrew Segal of WSM Marks Bloom LLP were appointed joint liquidators to Max Pro Group Limited on 14 May 2026, placing the private security firm into a creditors' voluntary liquidation. A CVL is the insolvent winding-up process resolved by a company's members without a court order.
Max Pro Group was incorporated on 1 June 2021 and carried on business in private security activities, classified under SIC code 80100. Its registered office at the time of the Gazette notice was 2nd Floor, Shaw House, 3 Tunsgate, Guildford, Surrey. Companies House records show a separate registered address at 63 London Street, Reading.
The liquidators
Pinteau holds IP number 19590 and Segal holds IP number 2685, both licensed insolvency practitioners acting through WSM Marks Bloom LLP. As joint liquidators, either may generally act independently unless the terms of the appointment specify otherwise. Their role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order of priority set by insolvency law.
The director
Makram Messaoudi was appointed director of Max Pro Group on 1 June 2021, the day the company was incorporated. Companies House lists Messaoudi as the current director, with no other officers on record.
Secured charges
Max Pro Group carries no registered charges at Companies House. No secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets.
Background
Max Pro Group filed accounts to 30 June 2024 on a total exemption full basis, the filing route available to companies that qualify as small under the Companies Act 2006. The next accounts were due by 30 June 2026. The CVL appointment on 14 May 2026 came before that deadline, with the company having traded since June 2021.
The notice was published in the London Gazette on 26 May 2026. Creditors wishing to submit a claim may do so by filing a proof of debt, the formal claim form evidencing the amount owed, with the joint liquidators at WSM Marks Bloom LLP.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Max Pro Group Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Max Pro Group Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Max Pro Group Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Max Pro Group Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
