Companies House

Sector Cyhoeddus

Caerdydd

We’re an executive agency of the UK government’s Department for Business and Trade. That means we’re a non-ministerial department responsible for the incorporation and dissolution of limited companies in the UK. We have over 1,300 employees based in 3 offices – Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast.

Our aim is to be the best registry in the world achieved through brilliant people working on brilliant systems delivering brilliant services.

We’re currently delivering an organisation wide transformation programme focussing on a complete redesign of our digital services, target operating model and culture.

We’re also on the cusp of new legislation that will introduce the biggest changes to Companies House since 1844, including important changes to UK company law. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act will give us more powers to tackle economic crime and improve the data on our registers.

These changes will need different skills, capabilities and mindset where adaptable, bold and curious behaviours are the norm and empowerment is encouraged and utilised.
