An Indian restaurant and a Kurdish barber shop in North Wales are among several UK businesses penalised for employing illegal workers, according to a recent Home Office report. The report details businesses that received civil penalties from January 1 to March 31 this year.
The following two establishments on Anglesey are listed:
1. Surma Beaumaris Limited, trading as Sarisa Indian Kitchen, located at 17 Church Street, Beaumaris, was fined £40,000. 2. EVA Barbershop Ltd, trading as Kurdish Barber at 79a Market Street, Holyhead, received a £45,000 penalty.
North Wales Live contacted Sarisa Indian Kitchen regarding its inclusion in the list. The restaurant stated that it is now under new ownership and has no ties to the previous proprietors. They confirmed their compliance with all Home Office employment regulations.
A spokesperson for Kurdish Barber disputed the claim that an individual identified by enforcement officers was an illegal worker. They maintained that the individual was a friend who had visited the shop and cut another friend’s hair, prompting the arrival of enforcement officials. They asserted that this person was not an employee and noted that they had sought to legally challenge the fine imposed by the Home Office, though their effort was unsuccessful. The spokesperson also confirmed that the previous business has since closed down.
