The company had been established for many years but was operating low key in the UK. She held our hands throughout the process and helped with compliance matters, as well the issue of the Certificate of Sponsorship and the preparation of my skilled worker and skilled worker dependent applications. I was very happy with her assistance would highly recommend Dhruti.”
