Sponsor licences in hospitality

Licensed sponsors in hospitality on the Home Office register, the occupation codes the sector hires under with their going rates, and the Home Office fees to sponsor a worker.

On the register

Licensed sponsors
1,009
A-rated / B-rated
1,008 / 0

Organisations on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors whose Companies House industry code (SIC) is one of the codes below. A new licence starts A-rated; a B-rating follows a downgrade and comes with an action plan. Licences added since our copy began are not yet matched to Companies House, so additions and removals are not split by sector here; the whole-register monthly figures are on sponsor register changes.
