- Yes. Astex Therapeutics Limited in Cambridge holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can Astex Therapeutics Limited sponsor?
- Astex Therapeutics Limited is licensed for Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is Astex Therapeutics Limited based?
- The register lists Astex Therapeutics Limited at 436 Cambridge Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0QA. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.

We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 03751674.
