Furthermore, the registered office address for a company may not be its trading location, and is often the address of the appointed Insolvency Practitioner handling the case. Subject to these caveats, estimated company insolvencies in Enfield North and Enfield in the periods up to 31 May 2023 were:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Period</p></td><td><p>Enfield North Constituency</p></td><td><p>Enfield Borough [1]</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>3 Months</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>106</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>6 Months</p></td><td><p>16</p></td><td><p>191</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12 Months</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>402</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>24 Months</p></td><td><p>59</p></td><td><p>756</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>[1] 685 of the 756 company insolvencies registered in Enfield Borough have the same postcode, which is the location of an insolvency practitioner firm.
