A prominent security company has gone into administration, marking another setback for businesses in the UK.

RK9 Security Services, based in Manchester, has appointed administrators as reported by The Gazette last Wednesday. The company serves clients across various industries.

The administrators overseeing the process are Mike Dillon and Katy McAndrew from Leonard Curtis. Notable clients of RK9 Security Services include Mercedes, Bury Council, UK Locksmiths, and Lambert Smith Hampton.

Describing itself as a top security and enforcement firm in the North West, RK9 emphasizes its experienced and licensed team dedicated to meeting clients’ security needs effectively.

Although no specific reason has been given for the administration, records from Companies House reveal past financial challenges, with the latest accounts from October 2022 and a statement of receipts and payments issued by a liquidator in September last year.

In a notable incident, the company assisted a Government agency in removing 20 squatters from a vandalized multi-storey building. The firm has garnered a commendable 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google based on 49 reviews.

A satisfied client praised RK9 for their security services, highlighting their responsiveness, expertise, and efficiency in handling security incidents promptly.

One client received a comprehensive security package from RK9 including bodyguards, cameras, drones, floodlights, and K9 units as part of a thorough security approach.

The Mirror has reached out to RK9 Security Services for their comments on the situation.
