Tom Wardle
Data reporter
Tom builds and checks the datasets behind our reporting: how many firms the FCA adds each week, how clone entries cluster around the same contact details, what Companies House filings show about the people behind a name. He came to journalism from local-government analysis and treats every figure as provisional until it can be traced to a published source.

How this journalist works
Every figure Tom publishes is drawn from a named published dataset and rechecked against the source on the day of publication. Where a number is an estimate, the page says so and shows the method.
