Editor at Insolvency News. Editor of Insolvency News. Covers UK administrations, voluntary and compulsory liquidations, moratoriums, prohibited-name notices and secured-lender activity from the official record.
James Waterton is the editor of Insolvency News. He is the named human in the review chain for every article on the site: each draft is generated from public-record data by an automated pipeline (Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6), then reviewed and approved by him before it is published.
His remit is UK corporate insolvency as it appears in the official record: appointments of administrators (Schedule B1, Insolvency Act 1986), creditors' voluntary liquidation resolutions and liquidator appointments, court-ordered winding-up, creditor petitions, standalone moratoriums under Part A1, prohibited-name notices under section 216, and the secured-lender and director context that surrounds each event.
The editorial process draws exclusively from The London Gazette and Companies House under the UK Open Government Licence v3.0. Every article links to the underlying Gazette notice and to the Companies House company record. Synthesised claims that go beyond those structured sources are required to carry an inline citation. The full methodology is documented at /methodology and the editorial standards at /editorial-standards.
