OID value: 1.2.826.1

OID description:
iso(1) member-body(2) uk(826 - the ISO 3166 3-digit code for uk) is owned by BSI.
The use of the next level is defined in British Standard 7453-1:1991. 1.2.826.1000 are assigned by BSI on payment of some fee, but 1.2.826.1.n is automatically owned by a company registered in England, with n as the registration number at Companies House. (1.2.826.2 is companies in scotland, 1.2.826.3 northern ireland) This means every uk company has already got a OID assigned to it, without payment of further fee. How many of them know this is another matter.
