Company Insolvencies in Q3 2020

Overall numbers of company insolvencies in England and Wales fell in comparison to both the previous quarter and same period last year.

The fall in comparison to Q2 2020 was driven by falls in CVLs; other types of company insolvency increased in Q3 2020 compared with the previous quarter but were still much lower than the same period last year

The reduction in company insolvencies compared to the same quarter last year was likely to be partly driven by Government measures put in place in response to the coronavirus (COVID 19).
