Company insolvencies in England and Wales fall

Just in: the number of companies in England and Wales falling into insolvency dropped last month.

The Insolvency Service has reported that there were 2,043 registered company insolvencies in England and Wales in June, 8% lower than in May 2025 (2,230) and 16% lower than in June 2024, when 2,430 companies failed.

That could ease some concerns over the health of the UK economy, as companies tackle rising inflation and higher taxes.

This week’s company insolvency statistics show accommodation and food services insolvencies rose 6% from 277 in April 2025 to 295 in May 2025, reaching the highest monthly figure since November 2024. Insolvencies in the sector were also up 4% year-on-year.

Saxon Moseley, partner and head of leisure and hospitality at RSM UK, said, “Today’s figures show the cost pressures and challenges faced by the hospitality industry are really starting to bite. Higher staff costs and rising inflation, combined with subdued consumer spending, means some operators are simply running out of runway. Many have reached their limit in passing on costs to customers and are currently in survival mode.

“The rise in insolvencies is one of many warning…

'Glimmer of relief' as Scottish business failures dip in June

Scottish company insolvencies fell by 4% in June 2025 compared to the previous year, with 105 firms collapsing.

The monthly total comprised 62 creditors’ voluntary liquidations, 37 compulsory liquidations, five administrations, and one company voluntary arrangement. Over the 12 months to June 2025, the insolvency rate was 51.6 per 10,000 active companies, a slight decrease from the preceding year.

Bruno Mars rounded off a recent surprise performance in Los Angeles with a tongue-in-cheek social media post, seeming to laugh off the longstanding rumours of his alleged gambling debts.

Appearing on stage alongside BLACKPINK’s Rosé at SoFi Stadium on July 13, the Grammy-winning artist joked on Instagram: “Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!!”

Mars’ comments humorously reference reports that first surfaced in 2023, which claimed the singer had amassed over $50 million in…

The number of UK companies falling into insolvency dropped sharply in June, offering a moment of respite for businesses after months of economic turbulence.

But experts have warned that the decline may be only temporary, with ongoing pressures threatening a renewed wave of financial distress later this year.

Beverley Callon says she lived in fear of bailiffs at her door – and wants more debt help services in communities

When Beverley Callon moved from Dorset to Huddersfield with her young son after a family breakdown, she hoped for a fresh start. Instead, the stress of mounting debt pushed her to the edge.

As the cost-of-living crisis bites, Bradford-based debt advice charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) warns of a silent epidemic of fear, shame and isolation gripping those in…
