Active companies whose registered office on the Companies House register is in the constituency, on 5 October 2026. Active means the status Active, including companies with a proposal to strike off. Every company type on the register is counted.
Active companies registered in the constituency, leaving out those at mass-registration addresses (an address line and postcode shared by 50 or more companies: formation agents, accountants, virtual offices) and those whose registered office Companies House has removed (the registrar's default address). A registered office is where a company receives official post; it is usually, but not always, where the company trades.
Active companies registered at an address shared by 50 or more companies (the same first address line and postcode), as a share of all active companies registered in the constituency.
New companies
- 5 October 2025 to 5 October 2026
- 555 based here (609 registered here)
- September 2026
- 42 based here (44 registered here)
Companies incorporated from 5 October 2025 to 5 October 2026 that are on the register now (any status) and based in the constituency as defined above. The figure in brackets counts every company registered here, including those at mass-registration and default addresses.
Companies incorporated in September 2026, the last complete month, on the same basis.
Companies entering insolvency
- 5 October 2025 to 5 October 2026
- fewer than 10
- Administration
- 0
- Creditors' voluntary liquidation
- fewer than 10
- Compulsory winding up
- fewer than 10
- Latest first notice here
- 24 August 2026
Companies whose first Gazette notice of administration, creditors' voluntary liquidation or compulsory winding up was published from 5 October 2025 to 5 October 2026 (The Gazette, corporate insolvency notices held to 4 October 2026). A company is placed by the principal trading address its notice gives; otherwise by its registered office, unless that is a mass-registration or default address, which is usually the insolvency practitioner's office after an appointment. Companies that cannot be placed are counted in the UK total only. Across the UK, 10,715 of the 23,771 companies entering insolvency in this period (45.1%) could be placed in an area, so area figures count fewer companies than entered insolvency there. Members' voluntary liquidations are solvent and not counted; notices without a company number cannot be matched.
