More than 60 companies across Cumbria have vanished from the official register, with 62 businesses dissolved in June alone, according to Companies House data.
Among those that ceased to exist were Logical Actions Project Delivery Ltd, The Lake District Sausage and Bacon Company Limited, and E & S Education Services Limited. The full list, broken down by area, was published by Times & Star senior reporter Erin Gaskell.
“62 companies across Cumbria dissolved in June, according to Companies House records.”
The dissolution of 62 companies in a single month underscores the fragility of the region’s business landscape, though the specific reasons for each closure remain a matter of commercial record rather than public explanation. Companies House filings do not distinguish between voluntary strike-offs, compulsory closures, or other forms of dissolution, leaving the underlying causes opaque.
The three named firms represent just a fraction of the total, with the broader list covering a range of sectors from project delivery to education and food production. The Times & Star compiled the register data as part of its ongoing coverage of local economic developments.
While the list is a snapshot of one month, the volume raises questions about the health of Cumbria’s small and medium-sized enterprises, which form the backbone of the local economy. No further details on the individual companies’ financial positions or reasons for dissolution were included in the report.
