The owner of a Lincolnshire car wash has been banned from running a company for five years after employing illegal workers.
Mohamed Hamza, 34, of Granville Road, Peterborough, hired the workers from Syria and Egypt to work at M&H Car Wash on Enterprise Way in Pinchbeck, near Spalding.
The business was fined £20,000 after the two workers, a man in his 20s and a man in his 30s, were discovered during an immigration enforcement visit in 2022.
Dame Angela Eagle, the minister for border security and asylum, said: “Anyone who thinks they can profit from illegal working in the UK can think again. I am pleased to see justice has been served.”
