The National Computing Centre (NCC) was an independent not-for-profit membership and research organisation that went in to administration before being liquidated in 2010. The name was then used as the trading name of a new company that changed its name from Redholt Limited to the National Computing Centre Limited (NCC Ltd) when its acquired the assets of NCC through a pre-pack administration arrangement. This new for-profit company, formed in 2010, initially offered some of the same the services as the original NCC but in 2012 became a shell company as it had to file for protection from its creditors and make most of its staff redundant. The status of the remaining shell company is unclear.
