Skilled Worker Licence for Fisheries – Copperstone Solicitors

Copperstone Solicitors specialises in helping UK fishing and seafood industry employers obtain a Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence to hire non-UK crew and workers.

Why Does the Fishing Industry Need a Licence?

With post-Brexit immigration changes, UK fishing operators must secure a Sponsor Licence to hire overseas crew for eligible roles, such as:

• Deckhands
• Fish processors
• Marine engineers
• Seafood factory workers
