Is there a bulk product that includes resigned Persons with Significant Control (similar to how Prod 216 includes resigned officers)?  
Thanks for any help

I’m not from Companies House but Persons with Significant Control was introduced some decades after the Bulk Products were set up and is in a very different format here

> **[Companies House](https://download.companieshouse.gov.uk/en_pscdata.html)**

The zip files are a combination snapshot and update that are overwritten daily; resignations are in there, just like Prod 216, but then all the updates are within as well. Depending on your needs you will need to re-process all 30 files daily to keep up to date or refresh at weekly / monthly intervals if that will be good enough. Alternatively for updates, we have a subscription solution that delivers the daily changes – contact [admin@statbooks.co.uk](mailto:admin@statbooks.co.uk) (my company) for full details.

Resignations are termed Cessations in the files.

Hi Frank  
Thanks for your response. What I had done previously was read in the ‘PSC data as one file’ zip file, which I assume is what the 30 multiple files combine to give. This doesn’t show up some resignations that I know about (and that can be seen on the CH webpage). It is these historic resignations that I am interested in.

Yes, my understanding is that the 30 files are more digestible parts of the whole.

Missing data from bulk files can be an issue - we have encountered limited instances with both Prod183 and Prod193 in the past. The former is easily resolved but the latter and PSC’s are somewhat harder.

Others have reported the same issue recently with [Bulk company file missing previous names](https://forum.companieshouse.gov.uk/t/bulk-company-file-missing-previous-names/7718)

Good luck!
