'Lack of transparency' around Glasgow School of Art devastating fire blasted

A 'lack of transparency' around the devastating fire that destroyed the Mackintosh Building was blasted as it emerged the security company was replaced prior to the blaze.

The firm, which was registered in Essex and had an office in Stirling, had its approved contractor status with the Security Industry Authority withdrawn in October 2017. The report into the fire, which was published in January last year, said that accidental ignition by something like a cigarette could not be fully ruled out, neither could a deliberate fire or electrical failure.

"Instead, four and a half years after the latest fire and almost a decade after the original fire in 2014, the Mackintosh Building is nothing but a shell and scaffolding. "The contract with the Security Company was entered into by Kier Construction and a copy of this is not held by GSA. A petition to wind up Appollo Security Services was submitted at the High Court of Justice on January 26, 2018 and granted on February 15 that year.
