How the WPC Group Businesses Work Together

Each business in WPC Group exists because clients kept needing the same next step. For a UK employer that sponsors overseas workers, the journey usually runs like this.

    Get your licence.

    WorkPermitCloud prepares and submits the sponsor licence application.

  2. Step 02

    Hire your people.

    WPC Jobs finds and onboards skilled workers for licensed employers.

  3. Step 03

    Keep your licence.

    WPC HR tracks sponsor duties, right to work records and expiry dates.

  4. Step 04

    Keep your records right.

    WPC Accountants keeps payroll and accounts in line with sponsorship duties.

  5. Step 05

  6. Step 06

    Grow internationally.

    WPC Global supports clients and businesses moving between the UK and the MENA region.

Each business is a separate legal entity and is responsible for the services it provides. Engaging one business does not, by itself, create a client relationship with another.
