# Verification log - TeamTalk UK target lists

Date of verification: **28 August 2026**. Verifier: automated primary-source pass.

## Method and what "verified" means here

Two published registers were downloaded in full from the issuing service and matched to the target companies by legal entity name:

1. **Gender pay gap service** - the complete reporting-year datasets at `https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/viewing/download-data/2025` (snapshot date 5 April 2025) and `/2024`. Every employer with 250+ UK employees on the snapshot date must file, and the filing states an employee headcount band. Each row below cites the individual employer's report page, which shows the same band as the dataset.
2. **UK register of licensed sponsors (workers)** - the Home Office CSV linked from `https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers`, file `SP_-_Worker_and_Temporary_Worker_Web_Register_-_2026-08-28.csv` (142,988 sponsor entries, dated 28 August 2026). Presence on this register is published evidence that the employer sponsors non-UK workers, so the multilingual flag moves from inferred to evidenced.

**Live spot-checks.** Eleven of the cited gender pay gap report pages were fetched individually and read to confirm the dataset matches the published page (BaxterStorey, Compass Group UK & Ireland, Fuller Smith & Turner, Arriva UK Bus, Lexington Catering, OCS Group UK, Butlins Skyline, Wagamama, Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering, Transport UK London Bus, The Compleat Food Group). All eleven matched exactly on employer name, headcount band and snapshot date.

**Companies House.** Attempted for the companies absent from both registers. The Companies House search and filing-history pages are fetchable, but the latest accounts are filed as scanned image PDFs with no text layer (checked directly for Mount Anvil Limited, company 02706348 - a 32-page image-only PDF), so the "average number of employees" note could not be read. No headcount was inferred from these.

**Nothing below is an estimate.** Where a value could not be read from a published page it was left UNVERIFIED or "Likely" and the reason is recorded in the last section.

## Twilio - UK (GB) Verify SMS channel fee

Checked 28 August 2026.

**Finding: there is no per-country "Verify SMS channel fee" table. The Verify pricing page itemises the SMS channel fee for the US only and defers every other country to the standard SMS price list.**

What the pages actually show:

- `https://www.twilio.com/en-us/verify/pricing` - headline: **"Base pricing $0.05 per successful verification plus standard channel fees."** Its "Channel fees" table reads, verbatim, for the SMS row: **"SMS - $0.05 per successful verification + $0.0083 per SMS (US). See international SMS pricing."** The other rows are WhatsApp ($0.05 + $0.0034 per authentication template message, US), Voice ($0.05 per successful verification), Email ($0.05 per successful verification), TOTP (channel fee included in the verification fee) and Silent Network Auth ($0.05 + a per-country channel fee). There is no country table on the page and no downloadable Verify price sheet (no .csv or .xlsx link is present in the page source).
- `https://www.twilio.com/en-us/sms/pricing/gb` - the GB outbound SMS prices the Verify page points to:
  - Mobile numbers (long code): **$0.056** outbound per message segment, $0.0075 inbound
  - Alphanumeric Sender ID: **$0.056** outbound
  - Short codes: **$0.0524** outbound, $0.0075 inbound
  - Failed message processing fee: $0.001 per message, applied only to messages ending in "Failed" status
  - The page offers a "Download SMS prices (.CSV)" link; prices are per message segment and carrier fees may apply on top.

**Therefore the GB Verify-by-SMS cost is the $0.05 verification fee plus the GB SMS rate:**

| Sender type | Verification fee | GB SMS channel fee | Total per successful verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long code / Alphanumeric Sender ID | $0.05 | $0.056 | **$0.106** |
| Short code | $0.05 | $0.0524 | **$0.1024** |

Both figures are per successful verification and exclude any carrier surcharges and the $0.001 failed-message fee. The US comparison on the Verify page ($0.05 + $0.0083 = $0.0583) is roughly **half** the UK cost, because GB SMS termination is about 6.7x the US rate.

## What remains unverified, and why

### Headcount still UNVERIFIED (23 of the original 113)

None of these appear on the gender pay gap register for either the 2025 or the 2024 snapshot under any name that could be matched, and their latest Companies House accounts are filed as scanned image PDFs with no text layer, so the "average number of employees" note could not be read. For a UK employer, absence from the gender pay gap register usually means fewer than 250 employees on the snapshot date, but that is an inference, not a published figure, so no number has been written into the CSV.

| # | Company | Why still unverified |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Mount Anvil | No gender pay gap filing. Companies House 02706348 latest accounts are a 32-page image-only PDF. |
| 7 | O'Shea Group (C J O'Shea Group Ltd) | No gender pay gap filing under any O'Shea entity. |
| 17 | Vacherin | No gender pay gap filing; a WSH Group brand, staff likely reported under a parent entity that cannot be identified from the register. |
| 25 | Countryside Partnerships (Vistry) | No separate filing since the Vistry merger. Vistry Homes Ltd files at 1,000-4,999 and is already a separate row (rank 24). |
| 43 | Levy UK + Ireland | No separate filing. A Compass division; staff sit inside Compass Group, UK and Ireland Ltd (20,000+, rank 39). |
| 44 | Restaurant Associates UK | No separate filing. Same Compass position as above. |
| 45 | Searcys (WSH Group) | No separate filing under Searcys. |
| 46 | Gather & Gather UK | No separate filing. Same Compass position as above. |
| 47 | Blue Apple Contract Catering | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 55 | Bidfood UK | No filing under Bidfood or Bidvest Foodservice. |
| 67 | Shanly Homes (Shanly Group) | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 68 | Bewley Homes | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 69 | Fairview New Homes | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 116 | G's Fresh Ltd | No gender pay gap filing under any G's entity. |
| 128 | RBH Hospitality Management | No filing; RBH manages hotels whose staff are employed by individual hotel companies. |
| 129 | Village Hotel Club | No filing under that name. |
| 134 | Magnavale Ltd | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 146 | Principle Cleaning Services | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 155 | Allied Bakeries Ltd | No filing for Allied Bakeries. The only related filer is the parent Associated British Foods plc at 250-499, which is an ABF head-office figure and does not describe the Allied Bakeries workforce, so it was deliberately **not** used. |
| 162 | Oakhouse Foods Ltd | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 167 | Edwardian Hotels London | No filing for Edwardian Group Ltd. The only near match, Edwardian Pastoria Hotels Ltd (250-499), is a single-hotel entity rather than the group, so it was deliberately **not** used. |
| 177 | The Pallet Network Ltd (TPN) | No gender pay gap filing. |
| 195 | William Cook Holdings Ltd | No gender pay gap filing for the holding company. William Cook Rail Ltd appears on the sponsor register but files no gender pay gap report. |

### Multilingual still "Likely" (66 of the original 182)

For these, no entry could be found on the 28 August 2026 sponsor register under the company name or any subsidiary name tested, and no published modern slavery statement or workforce nationality statistic was read for them in this pass. The value has been left as the original inferred "Likely".

**Important caveat: absence from the sponsor register is not evidence that a workforce is not multilingual.** A sponsor licence is only needed to employ workers from outside the UK labour market; an employer whose non-UK-national staff hold settled status, pre-settled status or Irish citizenship needs no licence and will not appear. Several of the largest employers on these lists fall into exactly that category. So "Likely" here means "not yet evidenced", not "probably monolingual".

Still "Likely" - targets-100.csv (32): 5 Telford Homes, 6 Higgins Partnerships, 9 Weston Homes, 11 Croudace Homes, 12 Thakeham Homes, 14 Harrison Catering Services, 16 Lexington Catering, 17 Vacherin, 19 Julius Rutherfoord & Co, 20 Clarion Housing Group, 22 Taylor Wimpey, 23 Persimmon, 24 Vistry Group, 25 Countryside Partnerships, 26 Crest Nicholson, 34 Sir Robert McAlpine, 41 Elior UK, 42 CH&CO, 47 Blue Apple, 49 OCS Group UK, 55 Bidfood UK, 60 Peabody Trust, 64 J Murphy & Sons, 65 Tilbury Douglas, 67 Shanly Homes, 68 Bewley Homes, 69 Fairview New Homes, 70 Durkan, 75 Young's & Co's Brewery, 82 Wincanton, 90 Corps Security, 93 Samworth Brothers.

Still "Likely" - targets-nonconstruction-100.csv (34): 102 Mellors Catering Services, 108 Creed Foodservice, 113 Monthind Clean, 114 Birkin Group, 120 Avery Healthcare, 121 Aspens-Services, 125 Center Parcs UK, 126 Haven Holidays, 129 Village Hotel Club, 130 Greggs, 133 Gregory Distribution, 134 Magnavale, 135 Palletways (UK), 136 AF Blakemore & Son, 145 NIC Services Group, 146 Principle Cleaning Services, 148 Nurture Landscapes, 150 Biffa, 151 Hovis, 152 Avara Foods, 161 Juniper Ventures, 162 Oakhouse Foods, 164 CGC Events, 168 JD Wetherspoon, 169 Marston's, 170 Azzurri Group, 173 Maritime Transport, 174 Howard Tenens Distribution, 177 The Pallet Network, 184 Carlisle Support Services, 185 SBFM, 186 Ground Control, 196 Castings, 200 Equans UK & Ireland.

### Matches that were found but deliberately rejected

- **Mellors Catering Services (102)** - "Mellors Group Ltd, Nottingham" is on the sponsor register but is an events and funfair business, not the Rotherham-based caterer. Rejected.
- **Wincanton (82)** - "Wincanton Creative Print Ltd" on the sponsor register is an unrelated company that shares the town name. Rejected. Note that Wincanton Group Ltd's headcount *is* verified (20,000+) via rank 53.
- **Ground Control (186)** - "Ground Control Studios" and "Ground Control Technologies UK Ltd" are unrelated. Rejected.
- **Johnson Service Group (149)** - accepted only because the register entry "Johnsons Textile Services Limited, Preston Brook" matches the group's own textile-services operating company and site.
- **Nurture Landscapes (148), NIC Services Group (145), Castings (196), Marston's (169), Greggs (130), OCS (49), Elior (41), CH&CO (42), Equans (200)** - only unrelated name collisions were returned. Rejected, values left as "Likely".
