Only companies whose latest figures balance and pass our checks, in pounds and not dormant, are ranked, so this is the largest among those we can show reliably, not every company registered in Cambridge. Figures are as filed with Companies House; CompanyStack does not audit them. A registered office is not always where a company trades.
