There were nine businesses in Greater Manchester that were forced to call in administrators during November - amid a worrying picture for companies in the region.

Last month, we reported how insolvency-related activity rose by 26 per cent in the north west in October, says R3, the UK’s restructuring, turnaround and insolvency trade body. R3’s analysis of data provided by Creditsafe shows a rise in the businesses going into administration, from 350 in September to 442 in October.

The north west figure is the second highest in the UK, behind Greater London with 474 instances. October’s figure also marks the highest monthly total since April 2025’s figure of 473, and an increase of one per cent on the same period in 2024.
