Manufacturing leads. Of the 7,105 administrations administrator.uk tracks, 1,110 (15.6%) are in manufacturing. The full ranking is below, each classified by its primary registered SIC code.
Every UK company is registered under one or more SIC codes describing what it does. We take the first code on each company's record and map it to a broad sector. A company whose primary code does not fall into one of the sectors we track is grouped under Other sectors.
These are the administrations administrator.uk has recorded, not a complete history of every UK administration. A count here includes cases that have since closed, or moved on to dissolution or a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation. So read the figures as which sectors generate the most administrations we track, not a live tally of companies sitting in the process today.
A single SIC code is a blunt instrument. A company can trade well outside the activity it registered, and holding companies often sit under a generic code. We publish the breakdown because the broad shape is useful, not because a SIC code is the last word on what a business did.
administrator.uk watches the UK companies you sell to and depend on. The day one of them goes into administration, you get an email. Protect watches your whole book and flags the warning signs as they build, well before it's official.
