in respect of

GALLOWGLASS SECURITY PARTNERS LLP

(in administration)

and Giles Patrick Vaughan Turnbull

Section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 lists the activities that a director of a company that has gone into insolvent liquidation may not undertake unless the court gives permission or there is an exception in the Insolvency Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. (This includes the exceptions in Part 22 of the Insolvency (England & Wales) Rules 2016.) These activities are—

(a) acting as a director of another company that is known by a name which is either the same as a name used by the company in insolvent liquidation in the 12 months before it entered liquidation or is so similar as to suggest an association with that company;

(b) directly or indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of any such company; or

(c) directly or indirectly being concerned in the carrying on of a business otherwise than through a company under a name of the kind mentioned in (a) above.

(together "the Activities").

This notice is given under rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 where the business of a company which is in, or may go into, insolvent liquidation is, or is to be, carried on otherwise than by the company in liquidation with the involvement of a director of that company and under the same or a similar name to that of that company.

The purpose of giving this notice is to permit the directors to act in these circumstances where the company enters (or has entered) insolvent liquidation without the director committing a criminal offence and in the case of the carrying on of the business through another company, being personally liable for that company’s debts.

Notice may be given where the person giving the notice is already the director of a company which proposes to adopt a prohibited name.

NB: references to a "director of a company" in the foregoing paragraphs also include members of a limited liability partnership and "company" includes limited liability partnerships.

It is the intention of Giles Patrick Vaughan Turnbull of 16 Loughborough Park, London SW9 8TR (the "Director") to act, or continue to act, in all or any of the ways specified in section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the business of Gallowglass Security Partners LLP (in administration), a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales with registered number OC372603 and having its registered office at 1-5 Beehive Place, London SW9 7QR (the "Insolvent LLP").

It is the intention of the Director:-

(i) to carry out the Activities in connection with Velar Security Group Ltd, a company incorporated in England & Wales with registered number 16570641 and having its registered office at 1-5 Beehive Place, London, England SW9 7QR ("Velar"); and

(ii) that Velar would carry on business using the trading names "Gallowglass" and "Gallowglass Security" (together the "Names").

Each of the Names is, would be, or may be, a prohibited name (within the meaning of section 216(2) of the Insolvency Act 1986) in respect of the Director, in the event of the Insolvent LLP entering insolvent liquidation.

The Director would not be permitted to undertake the Activities without the leave of the court or the application of an exemption created by Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986.

Breach of the prohibition created by section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 is a criminal offence.

The Insolvent LLP entered administration on August 27, 2025 when Kevin Weir and Angela Canning were appointed as joint administrators of the Insolvent LLP (the "Administrators"). The Director was a member of the Insolvent LLP on that date.

On August 27, 2025, Velar acquired the whole, or substantially the whole, of the business of the Insolvent LLP from the Insolvent LLP under arrangements made by the Administrators acting as administrators of the Insolvent LLP.
