Common questions about Orbital Express Launch Limited

Is Orbital Express Launch Limited a licensed UK visa sponsor?
No. Orbital Express Launch Limited in Forres is no longer on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors — it was removed on 18 June 2026, and Companies House records show the company itself has ceased trading. It cannot sponsor new visa applications.
Did Orbital Express Launch Limited lose its sponsor licence?
Orbital Express Launch Limited left the register on 18 June 2026 at a point when the company was winding up, so the licence ended alongside the company rather than through enforcement action. GOV.UK publishes removals without a reason, so a surrendered licence and a revoked one look identical on the register.
What visa routes can Orbital Express Launch Limited sponsor?
Orbital Express Launch Limited was 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 Orbital Express Launch Limited based?
The register lists Orbital Express Launch Limited at JOHN WHELAN ASSOCIATES, Omnibus Business Centre, 39-41 North Road, London, England, N7 9DP. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
How current is this information?
This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 09580714. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
