Registration:

There are no special conditions for registering a .CO.UK domain name. It is intended for use by commercial enterprises and businesses but it is a fully opened domain.

In other words, if your .CO.UK domain name is still available, you can register it without any restrictions whether you are a company, organisation or private individual. You do not need to reside in UK or, for companies, be set up in UK.
