取られた措置: The owner of London Radiant Group told the Guardian he provided logistical support for incoming migrants such as training and accommodation, for which he charged a varying fee. He said "We as a company help other overseas businesses for their customers in onboarding such as airport pickups, accommodation, general training through third-party providers...For these reasons there is a fee that we charge depending on the level of support, however we do not provide any certificate of sponsorship or employment to anybody.” Flamelily said: “The claims made about our company offering nonexistent or unsuitable work opportunities to migrant workers are categorically false. Flamelily Care Ltd operates transparently and ethically, and we are committed to upholding the welfare and rights of all employees and visa applicants... “In response to these allegations, we are launching our own internal investigation to thoroughly examine these accusations and ensure that our practices align with our values and legal obligations. We are also liaising with legal advisers to understand the full scope of these claims and take appropriate action.”
