Double spacing in company name results before LTD section

API Issues
1

When making a call to the lookup service our automated tests have started to fail. Upon investigation the reuslts in business name now has double spacing. Example below.

In the business name string we are seeing a double space before the company type i.e. Limited. This appears to be a bug or a change please could we get confirmation?

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this.
It certainly is not an intentional change.
I will get this investigated.

Double spaces appear in the following new incorporations on 5 January 2021 :

13112177 : ZANAS BARBER LTD
13112190 : ATECH PHONE & ACCESSORIES LTD
13112354 : MATTHEW BATHROOM AND KITCHEN CENTRE LIMITED
13112540 : CONNEXIONS CARE AGENCY LTD

For all we know they could be intentional but then again …

Happy investigating, Mark!

This is a bug that was introduced with the BREXIT work that was deployed/triggered on 31st Dec.
A fix is being worked on.
