Company Annual Returns filed with Companies House on or after 1 October 2011 will need to use the new-style Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 5 digit classification code, not the previous 4 digit version.
The SIC codes were introduced in 2007 to allow more detailed records to be kept of the types of companies active in the UK.

Curiously, whilst the SIC codes contain 16 different categories for types of plants grown, they do not contain a ‘marketing’ or ‘marketing services’ category.
