🚨 A Glasgow kebab shop received a Companies House strike-off notice in Jan 2026. Five weeks later the shop burned down in a late-night fire.
An open-source dive into the business behind BBQ Wrap Salad (17 Hyndland St, Partick) uncovered a strange company trail involving multiple firms, address swaps, and a takeover in 2022. 🧵
1️⃣ THE FIRE
On 13 March 2026 (~1:46am) a fire broke out at BBQ Wrap Salad, a takeaway at 17 Hyndland Street, Glasgow. The ground-floor shop was badly damaged and residents in the flats above were evacuated. No injuries were reported.
2️⃣ THE COMPANY
Council licensing records show the takeaway operating as A&K Bossman Ltd t/a BBQ Wrap Salad. This company held the late-hours catering licence for the premises. Companies House lists it as an active restaurant/takeaway business registered at the same address.
3️⃣ THE TIMELINE THAT STANDS OUT
Companies House shows:
• 27 Jan 2026 — First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off issued
• 7 Feb 2026 — strike-off action discontinued
• 13 Mar 2026 — fire destroys the shop
So the operating company had a strike-off notice just five weeks before the fire. There is no evidence these events are connected, but the timing is notable.
4️⃣ A SECOND COMPANY AT THE SAME SHOP
Another firm is also registered at 17 Hyndland Street: J&W Restaurants Ltd (director: Rahim Ahmed Bagzada). This company currently shows an active proposal to strike off. So the same takeaway address has been linked to two restaurant companies, both facing strike-off action at different times.
5️⃣ THE 2022 TAKEOVER
Both companies show a coordinated change in Oct 2022. Within about two weeks:
• Bagzada became director of J&W Restaurants Ltd and the company moved to 17 Hyndland St.
• Bagzada became director of A&K Bossman Ltd, which also moved to 17 Hyndland St.
Before this, both companies were registered at 64 Canmore Street, Glasgow, suggesting the business changed hands around this time.
6️⃣ THE PREVIOUS NETWORK
Before 2022 the companies were controlled by Ali Abdullah Karim and Joanna Monika Wazny, both linked to 64 Canmore Street. Companies tied to that address include property-style firms such as Wazny Properties Ltd, J&W Apartments Ltd, Wazny Services Ltd, and A&K Apartments Ltd, suggesting the earlier network was more property-focused than takeaway-focused.
7️⃣ A SEPARATE “BRAND” COMPANY
In Oct 2022, just before the takeover, a company called BBQWRAPSALAD Limited was incorporated in Eastbourne with Rahim Ahmed Bagzada as director. It was later dissolved in Nov 2024. At one point the structure appears to have included a brand company, an operator company, and a second restaurant company.
8️⃣ ADDRESS HISTORY
In Sept 2019, A&K Bossman Ltd filed two opposite registered-office changes on the same day: 64 Canmore St → 17 Hyndland St, then 17 Hyndland St → 64 Canmore St. This may just be an admin correction but shows the address history has been messy.
9️⃣ THE LOCATION
Council records show 17 Hyndland Street has been used as a late-night takeaway for many years, with licensing evidence going back to 2010. The premises itself has therefore had multiple operators.
🔎 FINAL OBSERVATION
At street level BBQ Wrap Salad looked like a normal local takeaway. But the company trail includes multiple firms at the same address, a coordinated takeover in 2022, a separate brand company, links to a property-company network, and a strike-off notice just weeks before the fire. There is no evidence of wrongdoing, but the timeline and structure are unusual enough to document.
