Legal Information

Last updated: 18 October 2026

This page contains the legal information that must be published by a commercial business operating a website in the United Kingdom. It explains who operates this website, the legal form and registration details of that business, the way the site may be used, the ownership of its content, the limits of the operator's responsibility, and the routes available to visitors who have questions or complaints. It is written in plain English so that it can be read and understood without legal training.

Identity of the Website Operator and Its Role

This website is owned and operated by newsflare. The operator is a commercial business providing professional services in the media, broadcasting and live production sector. newsflare operates as the central hub for media feeds and acts as a technical partner and content enabler for broadcasters, news organisations, production companies and media outlets in the United Kingdom and internationally.

The core activities carried out through this website and in support of it include professional video operation, live signal management, content distribution, camera work, and the creation of reliable, high-quality feeds for news programmes and television broadcasting. This means coordinating the end-to-end handling of video signals, maintaining low-latency transmission, protecting signal integrity, and ensuring that contributions from studios, remote locations, live events and field crews arrive with the continuity and picture quality that broadcast environments demand.

Alongside these operational services, newsflare designs and delivers practical training courses in live production. These courses cover multi-camera switching, control room operation, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation, signal routing and distribution, and the professional management of television and streaming productions. Training is provided to individuals, production teams and organisations that wish to develop or refresh their skills in broadcast media and live event production.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, newsflare is the operator of this website and the entity responsible for its content and operation. Where a service is supplied by a named partner, freelancer or subcontractor, that entity is identified in the relevant contract, quotation or booking confirmation.

Legal Form, Registration Details, Tax Identifiers, Licences and Responsible Representatives

United Kingdom company law requires commercial websites to disclose specified information about the legal entity behind them. Those disclosures are set out below, together with the identifiers that make it possible to verify the business on public registers.

Legal form and incorporation

newsflare is incorporated as a private limited company under the laws of England and Wales. The company is registered with Companies House, the United Kingdom registrar of companies, under Company Registration Number 07153017, and it is registered in England and Wales. A private limited company is a separate legal person: it can enter into contracts, own property, employ staff and be sued in its own name, and the liability of its members is limited to any amount unpaid on their shares.

These details are published in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015. Those rules require the company's registered name, the part of the United Kingdom in which it is registered, its company number and its registered office address to be disclosed on websites and in business correspondence, so that anyone dealing with the business can identify and verify it.

Registration and non-contact identifiers

Registered name: the name under which the operator is registered at Companies House and under which it trades on this website.
Company Registration Number: 07153017.
Jurisdiction of registration: England and Wales.
Registered office address: BT Tower, 60 Cleveland Street, London W1T 4JZ, United Kingdom.
Nature of business (SIC codes): 59111, 59112 and 59113 (motion picture, video and television programme production activities) and 60200 (television programming and broadcasting activities).
Data protection registration: where the operator is required to pay the data protection fee to the Information Commissioner's Office, the entry is recorded on the public register of fee payers maintained by the Information Commissioner's Office.
VAT registration: where the operator is registered for Value Added Tax, the registration number is stated on quotations, invoices and receipts issued to clients. Visitors who require the VAT number before instructing the operator may request it using the contact route described below.

The operator does not publish an identification number issued by another country, such as a NIF, SIRET, CIF or chamber-of-commerce number, because it is not registered outside the United Kingdom. Any identifier quoted by a third party that is not listed above should be verified directly with Companies House or with the operator.

Licences and regulatory compliance

No specific licence or permit beyond standard company registration is required to operate this website or to provide the core services described on it. The operator does not hold, and is not required to hold, a broadcast licence for the supply of production services, camera work, training or feeds to licensed broadcasters; where a service is delivered for a licensed broadcaster, responsibility for the broadcasting licence rests with that broadcaster.

All operations are carried out in compliance with applicable United Kingdom law, including broadcasting and media regulation to the extent that it applies, data protection legislation, health and safety obligations for live and studio environments, and the rules governing commercial communications. Where a particular engagement requires additional permissions, such as filming consents, premises access approvals or radio spectrum authorisation for wireless equipment, those permissions are obtained for the relevant project before work begins.

Responsible representatives

The individuals responsible for the operator are the directors appointed in accordance with the Companies House register of officers. Where a company secretary is appointed, that person is also recorded on the register. Directors are responsible for the lawful conduct of the business, for the accuracy of the information published on this website and for ensuring that statutory filings, including annual accounts and confirmation statements, are made on time. The current officers of the company can be inspected free of charge on the public register maintained by Companies House.

The registered office of newsflare is BT Tower, 60 Cleveland Street, London W1T 4JZ, United Kingdom. The registered office is the official address for the service of legal documents, court papers and formal correspondence, and it is the address at which registers and statutory records are kept or made available for inspection as required by law. The same address may also be used for day-to-day correspondence.

Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience of This Website

This website is the primary online presence of newsflare. Its purpose is to inform potential clients, partners, students and industry professionals about the services offered, which include video production workflows, live signal management, content distribution, camera operation, feed creation for news and television output, and training courses in live production and control room operation.
