The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Britannia K9 Security Limited on 10 June 2026, placing the Waltham Abbey-based security services company into compulsory liquidation. Compulsory liquidation is court-imposed, as distinct from a voluntary process resolved by the company's own members.
The case was filed under number 002935 of 2026. The petition was dated 14 April 2026, meaning the court took just under two months to reach its determination.

M Commins of the Official Receiver's office has been appointed liquidator with effect from 10 June 2026.

Commins can be contacted through the Eastern office at PO Box 16653, Birmingham, B2 2NG, by telephone on 0300 678 0016, or by email at Eastern.OR@insolvency.gov.uk.

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.

Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made.

The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
