Where does the sponsor information come from?

The UK Home Office Register of Worker and Temporary Worker licensed sponsors, published on gov.uk (9 October 2026), under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Where does the growth figure come from?

1-year headcount growth from licensed B2B firmographic and technographic data, company-level only. Figures over 200% are estimates.

Why not just use the free register?

The register lists over 127,000 sponsor entries with no size or growth. This list keeps only sponsors whose headcount grew 20%+ in a year, ranked, with website and careers link.
