What a licence means

They can sponsor. That is all it says.

A sponsor licence lets an organisation assign a Certificate of Sponsorship to a worker on the routes it covers. It does not mean BASF Metals ltd is hiring from abroad this month, only that it can, and has been checked by the Home Office to do so.

How to approach them

Lead with the role, not the visa

Apply through the careers page or the job boards with a UK-style CV, say early that you would need sponsorship, and make the skill and the years the first thing they read.

The register

The registered office is at 21st Floor 110 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4AY, EC2N 4AY. Its filed activity puts it in wholesale. It has traded under other names before, including Engelhard Metals Limited, Frimhold Limited.

What the licence tells a candidate is that the door is not locked. Whether it is open this month is a question for BASF Metals ltd's own careers page and the job boards, and the answer changes with the season and the order book.
