UK government has unveiled an extensive list of licensed companies authorized to sponsor skilled immigrants under the temporary worker immigration route. The list, last revised on January 12, 2024, now comprises a total of 99,856 approved companies, demonstrating a significant increase from the 68,630 recorded in January 2023.
Covering a wide range of sectors, including technology, commerce, education, media, and engineering, among others, these licensed companies play a crucial role in facilitating the relocation of skilled workers, including those from Nigeria, to fill vacant positions within their organizations.
The skilled worker route encompasses various categories, such as charity workers, skilled workers, creative workers, global business mobility (senior or specialist workers), and international sportspersons. Aspiring candidates are encouraged to explore available opportunities by visiting the respective company websites and utilizing job search platforms like GOV.UK, Total Jobs, Indeed, LinkedIn, and more.
To assist potential applicants, here is a selection of companies from the extensive list:
1. RSS Express Ltd T/A Ledbury Fuel Service Station

This update comes as the UK continues to streamline its immigration processes and provide opportunities for skilled individuals to contribute to the country’s workforce. As the list expands, it opens up avenues for collaboration and cross-border talent exchange between the UK and Nigeria.
