The business was served with a Civil Penalty Referral Notice and Home Office officials confirmed that an investigation was under way.

If the business owner is found to be responsible for the immigration breaches, they could be fined up to £45,000 per illegal worker for a first breach and up to a maximum of £60,000 for repeat offending.

A spokesman for the Home Office said: "Illegal working undermines honest employers, undercuts local wages and fuels organised immigration crime.

"This government will not stand for it.

“Since coming into power, the government has increased immigration enforcement action to the highest level in British history, with an 83pc rise in illegal working arrests and 77pc rise in raids.”
