An Oxfordshire airport security business is under threat of liquidation, with £1.82 million owed to creditors falling due inside 12 months.
Westminster Aviation Security Services, whose registered address is Westminster House in Banbury, has a listing for 10 November at the Business and Property Courts of Manchester.
Federal Capital Limited presented the winding-up petition, according to a notice in The London Gazette dated 2 November.
Companies House filings identify the firm as part of Westminster Group Plc.
Its most recent confirmation statement records that the parent held all 9,500 ordinary shares.
In 2021, Westminster Group Plc received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, recognising growth in overseas sales.
The group characterises itself as a global provider of security and managed services.
The aviation arm provides airport security support, including fully managed security operations, personnel training, X-ray checks of baggage and cargo, CCTV, systems for controlling access, perimeter safeguards and drone defence.
Accounts state that airport security services formed the firm’s principal activity.
Turnover for the year ended 30 June 2025 was £3.33 million, while a loss of £225,000 was recorded.
This compares with a £2.05 million profit during the preceding 18-month period.
Net assets stood at £3.385 million, while creditors due within one year totalled £1.82 million.
Cash at bank and in hand amounted to £22,000.
The Manchester court will determine later in November whether to issue a winding-up order.
