Case studies
Being a registered sponsor under the points-based system can bring real business benefits to United Kingdom companies. It does not need to be difficult or overly complicated.
But what are the benefits and how difficult is it to apply? The case studies below provide more information.
HML
Demand is increasing for the products and services of Homeloan Management Ltd (HML) – and its own need for staff. In particular, HML depends on a particular IT programming skill that is very difficult to source in the UK. To fill this gap, the company has relied on bringing in trained programmers from Australia or New Zealand – usually at short notice.
Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson
Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson Ltd. was established in 1834 and is one of the United Kingdom’s largest firms of architects, interior designers and structural engineers. The Sheffield-based company currently employs more than 100 highly skilled staff, including migrant workers from countries such as China, Malaysia and EU Accession States.
University of York
As one of Britain’s top-rated research academies, the University of York routinely needs to recruit researchers, scientists and academics from all over the world. Some 300 of the 3,000 academic staff originally hail from outside Europe.
Honda Racing Development Ltd
Honda Racing Development employs around 150 migrant workers on both long and short term basis to support the Honda Racing F1 Team. They believe that preparation is the key to a successful sponsor registration application. Before beginning the application they made sure that all supporting documentation was gathered.
NHS Trust
As an NHS Trust, we were initially daunted by the amount of information available and what seems to be on the face of it a very complicated process. Once we had an overview of the new changes we narrowed the amount of information that we needed to absorb to what was relevant to us.
