Registered office change recorded on 6 Nov 2023. If the address on your sponsor licence has changed, the change must be reported in the SMS (the Home Office sponsor system) within 20 working days. - 2 Mar 2023: Shares sub-divided or consolidated. Share capital filing recorded on 2 Mar 2023. No new majority owner was notified, so this is usually routine. If it did pass a controlling interest to someone new, the licence does not transfer automatically, and a new licence application may be needed within 20 working days. Companies House cannot show who holds the licence roles or whether a change was reported to the Home Office, so these are prompts to check against your own records, not findings. ## Sponsored jobs No listings matched yet.
