Atik nightclub in Windsor has closed alongside 16 other venues across the country, nightclub operator Rekom Group has announced.
The Scandinavian firm, which owns nightclub brands across Europe, said administrators were appointed yesterday to seven companies within its UK operation.
Peter Marks, chairman of Rekom UK, said: “Following a review of our business, we were unable to reach an agreement with our landlord and have been forced to hand back the lease of ATIK Windsor.
“Sadly, this means the club has closed and our team has been made redundant.
“While we understand the impact this will have on the local late-night economy, it’s important to recognise that this decision follows an extremely difficult period for the sector.
“This includes a combination of the cost-of-living crisis hitting younger generations and students particularly hard, as well as the rising costs including the national minimum wage which particularly affects Hospitality, alongside increased business rates and many other costs of operating.”
The company thanked its guests and teams for making Atik Windsor an ‘iconic venue’ over the years.
