The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against The Delta Protection Group Limited on 24 June 2026, placing the Crawley-based private security firm into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed, distinct from a voluntary process resolved by a company's own members.
The case is numbered 000529 of 2026. A petition was filed on 23 January 2026, five months before the order was made. That gap is not unusual; winding-up petitions require a court hearing before a judge can make any order.
The liquidator
J Peacock, the Official Receiver, was appointed liquidator on 24 June 2026, the same date as the order. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who takes office automatically on most winding-up orders. Peacock's office is at PO Box 16657, Birmingham, B2 2ER, and can be reached by telephone on 0300 678 0016 or by email at SouthEast.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.
The IP number given in the Gazette notice is 16657.

The court has placed the company in compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver typically takes office as liquidator unless creditors nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner.

Did you work at The Delta Protection Group Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from The Delta Protection Group Limited?
Customers 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 The Delta Protection Group Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. 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. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
