8 director bans published today, Md Aminul Hasan disqualified for 10 years, why same-week screening matters

Eight new UK director disqualifications were published today, 28 October, with bans already effective from 20 October to 23 October. The longest term was Md Aminul Hasan at 10 years from 22 October 2026 per the Insolvency Service. Across the eight cases, the average disqualification period was 6 years and 11 months. The common ground in every case was a CDDA 1986 section 7 undertaking, which makes timing, not just volume, the key point for lenders, accountants and trade creditors this week.

What changed today

Effective dates are already running

The practical shift is immediate. These eight bans surfaced on 28 October, but the effective dates were spread across four earlier days in the same week. Sarah Marie Louise Wright became disqualified on 20 October, Nadi Jahangiri on 21 October, Alexander Edward Jollivet, Md Aminul Hasan, Vadym Pavliuk, David John Hoy and Thomas James Wiggett on 22 October, and Serina Bhandal on 23 October. For counterparties relying on recent board checks, that means a clean result earlier this week may now need to be rerun before credit, supply or advisory work proceeds.

Key regulatory findings

On the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Md Aminul Hasan was disqualified for 10 years on 22 October 2026 per the Insolvency Service, and Serina Bhandal for 9 years on 23 October 2026, both under CDDA 1986 section 7 undertakings.

On the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Alexander Edward Jollivet and Thomas James Wiggett were each disqualified for 8 years on 22 October 2026 per the Insolvency Service, while Nadi Jahangiri was disqualified for 7 years on 21 October 2026, again under section 7 undertakings.

What creditors should do

Screening now, not at month end

Suppliers, lenders and trade creditors should verify active officers against the disqualified directors register before signing contracts, shipping goods or extending terms. The GOV.UK Insolvency Service guidance sets out the effect of disqualification, but the operational point today is speed: status changed before publication reached many routine monitoring cycles.

RecoupIQ reruns director screening against appointment records and cross-directorships in real time, so a newly disqualified name can be checked against your borrower, customer or supplier base without waiting for a month-end review. That matters most where engagement letters, renewed facilities or fresh trade credit were approved earlier this week.

Our full article and company-level evidence check let you test whether a current director, recent appointee or connected board name has crossed into disqualification since the start of this week, before you approve credit or release stock. Verify any UK company director or counterparty before extending credit. Check director histories and disqualification registers at recoup-iq.tech/check-a-debtor.
