Sherry Fitzgerald, Senior ConsultantSAR London—a specialist in UK corporate and personal immigration—draws on its deep-rooted expertise in navigating immigration processes to help HR teams simplify regulatory compliance and ensure they secure talent without hassle.
Renowned for its meticulously tailored offerings, SAR London cultivates close relationships with its clients, treating them as trusted partners. The team assesses their needs and provides personalised advice, support and representation services on employment, business, family, and citizenship matters.
“We provide a boutique service to each client as opposed to a typical conveyor-belt approach. Our focus is on delivering a bespoke experience, meeting their unique needs and circumstances,” says Sherry Fitzgerald, Senior Consultant.
A shortage of talent in the UK is making it difficult for organisations to hire locally, resulting in a shift towards a more globalised market. SAR London balances the mismatch between restrictive immigration rules and the pressing demand for skilled labour, serving as an indispensable partner for businesses aiming to thrive. Its services span pre-licencing/right-to-work audits and training, end-to-end processing service for sponsor licences, visa applications and renewals, facilitation of skilled worker staffing and global business mobility visa routes.
With penalties for non-compliance reaching up to £60,000 per illegal worker, SAR London establishes robust systems to avoid clients’ risks of employing illegal workers. It reviews their right-to-work processes to ensure full compliance with legal requirements. This applies to all employees, whether British or Irish citizens.
It guides clients through the sponsor licence and visa application process, advising on required documents, reviewing them to meet Home Office standards, drafting and submitting applications, and managing correspondence with the authorities.

When a client changes its business structure, it is required to obtain a new sponsor licence and submit reports to the Home Office to reflect the changes. SAR London has extensive experience and can provide invaluable support to businesses going through this complex transition.
As a Level 1 user on many clients’ licences, SAR London can manage key administrative tasks. It assigns Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to migrant workers and handles all reporting obligations.
In a notable instance, SAR London helped a new client overcome repeated CoS rejections for onboarding two candidates. Despite complying with Home Office requests for additional documentation, the applications were continually rejected. After being instructed, SAR London established that the applications had been denied due to concerns about the clients financial capability. Upon investigation, SAR London were able to establish that the parent company was providing financial support. By introducing this crucial evidence to the Home Office, they were able to resolve the issue successfully within 24 hours, enabling the client to proceed with their recruitment plans.
Client satisfaction is always top priority of SAR London. It goes above and beyond to address specific issues that arise with corporate customers, such as employees on spouse visas facing personal challenges or the need to sponsor graduates whose visas are expiring. Working closely with them to explore sponsorship and other immigration solutions, it enables organisations to retain valuable talent and ensure regulatory compliance. It also has a private client offering, to include family applications, visit visas, settlement and citizenship. This proficiency stems from its team’s extensive expertise, which drives the company’s success.
From large multinational companies to small and medium enterprises, SAR London has propelled numerous clients toward immigration success, handholding them every step of the way based on their familiarity and experience with the industry. Its deep industry knowledge and commitment to tailored solutions empower clients to overcome complex immigration challenges and ensure transformative results.
