Founders

In context

We hold 1,563 other companies founded in the 1970s. 228 of them have closed, after a median of 23 years, and 1,335 have no closure recorded.

Counted across this directory, from founding and closing years in public records. Medians cover only companies whose closure is recorded; a company with no closure date may have quietly ceased without the record catching it.
