What Is The Gazette?
The Gazette is the official public record for legal notices in the UK. There are three editions: The London Gazette (England & Wales), The Edinburgh Gazette (Scotland), and The Belfast Gazette (Northern Ireland). Published since 1665, it is one of the oldest continuously published newspapers in the world.
Types of Company Gazette Notices
Company-related gazette notices include: winding-up petitions, compulsory strike-off notices, voluntary dissolution notices, change of name notices, and administration appointments. These notices serve as legal notification to creditors, shareholders, and the public.
Strike-Off and Winding-Up Notices
A compulsory strike-off notice (published under Section 1000 of the Companies Act 2006) gives 2 months for objections before Companies House dissolves the company. Winding-up petitions are published to notify creditors of insolvency proceedings.
