The most registered SIC codes in Sheffield

Counting active companies whose registered office is a Sheffield post town, these are the codes that come up most often on the August 2026 Companies House snapshot. Public houses and bars leads with 545 companies. It is worth reading against the sectors above: the authored view is what Sheffield 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.
