The Challenge
GX Hospitality, a prestigious international food service company, aimed to establish Michelin Star restaurants in the UK. To meet these extremely high standards, the company needed access to top-tier culinary talent from overseas.
UK employers require a sponsor licence from the Home Office to hire from abroad. GX Hospitality initially attempted to manage these immigration compliance obligations internally. However, this proved inefficient, complex, and resource-intensive.
These delays and inefficiencies were impacting their investment strategies and holding back their readiness to trade. The company therefore decided to seek expert third-party help to fulfil their legal obligations more effectively.
They approached several firms, but Centuro Global’s consultation stood out. Unlike the other service providers they spoke to, we displayed a detailed understanding of their challenges, while also providing solutions and guidance on their specific objectives.
This initial introduction gave GX Hospitality the confidence to engage Centuro Global to secure their sponsor licence, while advising on streamlining their processes, clarifying legal requirements and creating a more efficient internal immigration operation.
The Process
Our team integrated the client into our system within 24 hours, avoiding any delays. We provided comprehensive onboarding, assigning a dedicated account management team, setting clear KPIs and making the process more efficient through our market-leading software tools.
By combining strategic thinking with a nuanced commercial understanding, we helped GX Hospitality align legal obligations with business goals. Regular communication and a robust support protocol ensured they felt supported and informed at every step.
The Outcome
We swiftly resolved the client’s immediate needs and successfully obtained their sponsor licence within a matter of weeks—significantly faster than their previous in-house efforts. This allowed GX Hospitality to start promptly hiring overseas talent.
Without a valid UK sponsor licence, the client would not have been able to hire the talent they needed to eventually gain their Michelin Star.
Our work obtaining these credentials also prevented any expensive delays to operations and safeguarded their investments in their premises.
GX Hospitality was particularly complimentary of our team’s swift response times, which exceeded the KPIs set at the start. The presence of a dedicated account manager to answer their questions instilled confidence and provided peace of mind.
The client was highly satisfied, noting the outstanding service. They have declared their readiness to recommend our expertise to others in a similar position.
