What the source says

The 30 October cluster

Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Thamotharampillai Paran was disqualified for 11 years on 30 October 2026 under CDDA 1986 section 7 by undertaking. Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Shaun Andrew Radcliffe was disqualified for 10 years on 30 October 2026 under section 7 by undertaking. Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Anthony Dykes was disqualified for nine years on 30 October 2026 under section 7 by undertaking.

The outlier and the shortest term

Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Gareth David Gwynne Davies was disqualified for four years on 30 October 2026 under CDDA 1986 section 6 by court order, the only court order in this batch. Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Morrice Diplexcito was disqualified for three years and six months on 30 October 2026 under section 7 by undertaking. Per the Insolvency Service and the Companies House Disqualified Officers Service, Saeed Norouzi was disqualified for 10 years on 29 October 2026 under section 7 by undertaking.

What this means for UK creditors

The practical signal is a same-date cluster. If your onboarding file, supplier review, or portfolio watchlist has not been refreshed since 29 or 30 October, you could be relying on stale officer information. This batch does not show sector spread or debt values, so the defensible point is sequence: seven undertakings became effective together, and one court order landed alongside them. For trade creditors, lenders, and suppliers, that means checking live officers before new terms, shipment releases, guarantee reliance, or contract renewal. The Insolvency Service guidance is clear that a disqualified person cannot act as a director unless the court permits it.

What creditors should do

Run a fresh register check against current and proposed counterparties, then compare active appointments with disqualification entries and cross-board ties to spot whether any restricted individual still appears in your approval path, beneficial influence chain, or legacy file. Verify whether any current or proposed UK counterparty officer matches these eight names and effective dates before extending credit or signing terms.
