I did so, naively assuming that because the broker I'd previously signed with in 2022 had gone into administration, thinking my renewal dates had gone 'back on the market'. I didn't want to leave it until the last minute to get a new contract, so I signed up.

Going into administration does not automatically equal 'gone bust' or 'ceased trading', often a company will continue to trade normally and after a period of administration continue under new ownership.

Even when a company does cease trading and is closed down, you may find that assets such as contracts are sold on to a 3rd party, so never assume that your contract has been terminated without getting confirmation of that fact.
