Where they are

We group organisations by words in their registered name, so this is a practical list and not an official classification. A few names may match by coincidence, and organisations that trade under a different brand name will be missing.

A licence is not a job offer. Being on the register means the employer is allowed to sponsor. It does not mean it is hiring now, or that a particular vacancy comes with sponsorship. Always check the job ad or ask the employer.

All 311 licensed sponsors, A to Z

The town or city is shown in italics after each name, with a note when the rating is not A or the route is not Skilled Worker.
