Common questions about The Refinery
- Is The Refinery a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. The Refinery in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2023. 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 The Refinery sponsor?
- The Refinery is licensed for 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 The Refinery based?
- The register lists The Refinery at Sedley Place, 4th Floor, 361 Oxford Street, London, W1C 2JL. 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 03668430. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
