Is British Cycling a licensed UK visa sponsor?

Yes. British Cycling in Manchester 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 British Cycling sponsor?

British Cycling is licensed for International Sportsperson 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 British Cycling based?

The register lists British Cycling at Manchester. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
