UK companies in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city by population. It is a major centre for manufacturing, logistics and financial services. Filings under B postcodes show a lot of engineering and metalworking. That comes from the industrial past of the West Midlands. A professional-services cluster around Colmore Row is growing fast.

The most registered SIC codes in Birmingham

Counting active companies whose registered office is a Birmingham post town, these are the codes that come up most often on the August 2026 Companies House snapshot. Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate leads with 9,151 companies. It is worth reading against the sectors above: the authored view is what Birmingham is known for, this is what its companies actually filed.

A company may register up to four SIC codes and these counts include every position, so a business filed under two of them appears twice. Use the list to pick a code, then narrow by postcode and incorporation date. Every company you pull carries the Companies House record, the director's name, a verified website and a verified email, and the ones we cannot complete are not charged.
