- Yes. KWS UK Limited in Royston holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2014. 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 KWS UK Limited sponsor?
- KWS UK Limited is licensed for Global Business Mobility: Graduate Trainee, Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Temporary Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is KWS UK Limited based?
- The register lists KWS UK Limited at 56 Church Street, Thriplow, Royston, Hertfordshire, SG8 7RE. 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 01578784.
