We offer a responsive, efficient and cost effective international employment service to UK employers, their overseas staff and other skilled and qualified individuals seeking to enter and remain in the UK. We cover all aspects of business and employment immigration. We are best known for our work for film and TV commercial production companies and we are well used to meeting their particular requirements. As a regional firm, we have also developed a particular specialism in meeting the employment needs of the farming and food production industries.
UK employers wishing to recruit from outside the European Economic Area face an obstacle course of regulations, often baffling procedures and, in many cases, the involvement of a number of different government offices, each with its own forms, procedures and practices. Getting the procedure wrong or employing someone illegally could have expensive consequences. Expert advice from experienced specialists can prove invaluable, especially where tight deadlines are involved.
We are thoroughly familiar with the complex and often baffling requirements of the immigration authorities and often have to work within tight time scales. Above all, we deal with immigration in the context of the relevant business and its commercial needs.
Our immigration work includes:
Short term work permits for particular
projects, e.g. film shoots, training programmes
Long term work permits for permanent positions
Business relocation
Setting up or joining a business in the UK
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme applications
Settling in the UK in permit free employment - e.g. writers and artists, sole representatives, those with UK ancestry
