New names with a Skilled Worker licence, by town
Names as the register gives them; towns tidied for reading. Being on the register means an employer holds a licence. It does not mean it is hiring.
A new name is not always a new licence. It can also be a name change, a merger or an employer adding the Skilled Worker route; check gov.uk. Register of licensed sponsors: workers (gov.uk)
No longer on the register, by town
No longer on the register under the same name. A name change, merger, surrender or revocation can all cause this; check gov.uk.

How we compare the two copies
We compare the two most recent copies of the register we have saved, from 2 October 2026 and 5 October 2026. An employer counts as new when its registered name has a Skilled Worker licence in the newer copy and had none in the older one, ignoring capital letters and spaces at either end. Removals are counted the same way in reverse.
How often this page changes
This page always compares the two newest copies, so it changes each time we save a new one. To look up any employer today, use the sponsor check.
A licence means they can sponsor. It is not a promise that they will. Visavi shows you the evidence per job.
