About this list

  • Names, towns, counties, routes and ratings come from the GOV.UK Register of licensed sponsors: workers, Open Government Licence v3.0. The register is updated every working day, and this list is refreshed from it daily.
  • Company status, number, industry (SIC code) and incorporation date come from the Companies House free company data (BasicCompanyData-2026-11-01). We add them only when the legal name matches exactly one company. "Name and town" means the registered town matches too. 103,154 of 127,910 organisations matched. NHS bodies, universities, councils and unincorporated organisations are not on the company register.
  • Being on the register means the organisation holds a sponsor licence for the route shown. It does not mean it is recruiting or will sponsor any particular job.
