Two firms have been fined for employing illegal workers in Herefordshire.
According to the latest quarterly summary from the Home Office’s Immigration Enforcement, covering the first quarter of this year but published only on August 29, the firms worked in construction and care recruitment.
Essex-registered OKE Development Ltd was fined £320,000 during the period for illegal employment uncovered at a construction site at the former MandM Direct Building in Clinton Road, Leominster.
The firm has since gone into liquidation, filings at Companies House show.
And Lord’s Care Hereford Ltd, of Vincent Carey Road in the Rotherwas industrial estate, was fined £10,000 during the same period.
The company’s two directors are listed at Companies House as Indian nationals. The company declined to comment.
Immigration Enforcement explains that the address given in its reports is either that of the business where the enforcement visit took place, or in the absence of such a visit, the registered address of the liable party.
