About Spire

Spire provides strategic security consulting in Canada, the United States and Latin and South America. They act for or have acted for licensed producers and ancillary businesses in the cannabis sector. Formed almost 3 years ago by Andy Richards and Jeff Meyers, two career law enforcement professionals well acquainted with organized crime and both the illicit and legal cannabis industry, Spire has quickly become a leading firm for companies looking to ensure their operations adhere to government regulations around security and are best equipped to deter the infiltration of organized crime and black market diversion.  Spire is led by experts with international backgrounds in covert and undercover operations to infiltrate and disrupt organized crime, including outlaw motorcycle gangs, cartels, and other violent gangs. Members of the Spire team have been involved with policy, compliance, and law enforcement in the regulated cannabis industry since its earliest days.

By adding this business to the Company’s portfolio, Friday Night is diversifying its income stream and achieving exposure to international markets.

“The Spire team brings decades of experience in the trenches of law enforcement, security, and high-stakes risk management.” said Brayden Sutton, CEO of Fright Night Inc. “Spire is uniquely equipped to keep companies safe, secure, and compliant – which in turn creates more shareholder value and peace of mind.  I am extremely honored to call the Spire team a part of our family and look forward to the increased level of intelligence and awareness it brings us as a company, whether that be in current operations or when evaluating other opportunities in the sector.”

“Spire works with companies who want to make an honest dollar in a secure, compliant, law-abiding cannabis industry,” said Spire’s CEO Andy Richards, a 34-year law enforcement veteran who has led numerous high-profile investigations of organized drug crime. “Whether it’s regulatory applications, security procedures, or working hand-in-hand with government and law enforcement, our team has the right skills, connections, and experience to deliver.”

Coincident with closing, Andy Richards will join the Friday Night Inc. Board of Directors.
