Holmbush Stores in Midhurst has licence revoked after employing illegal workers

Navaratnam Sathananthan, who runs Holmbush Stores, in Holmbush Way, had the licence taken away during a meeting of Chichester District Council’s licensing sub-committee on Wednesday (March 15).

The meeting was told that a tip-off to the South East Immigration Compliance & Enforcement team (ICE) at the Home Office led police and ICE to the store in November last year where the three workers were arrested and detained ‘pending removal back to their home countries’.
