英国收容寻求庇护者企业Clearsprings年账公布：年营收近12亿英镑 税后利润3770万英镑
英国埃塞克斯郡的 Clearsprings Ready Homes 公司最新公布的年度账目显示，截至2026年1月底的12个月里，公司营业额接近12亿英镑，折合平均每天约326万英镑；这个数字是营收、不是利润。同期税后利润为3,770万英镑，低于上一年的4,414.5万英镑；公司资产约8,900万英镑，服务使用者29,995人，少于上一年的39,919人。
Clearsprings 是英国内政部三家寻求庇护者住宿承包商之一，另两家是 Mears 与 Serco。三家公司合计为89,089名寻求庇护者及庇护申请被拒者提供住宿，费用由纳税人承担。
公司创始人、59岁的 Graham King 被英国媒体称为「庇护之王」（Asylum King）；据《星期日泰晤士报》富豪榜，他的财富约为10.15亿英镑。
账目公布后，影子内政大臣 Chris Philp 对《太阳报》表示，纳税人每年为此花费超过10亿英镑是「一个巨大的骗局」（a huge scam）；纳税人联盟的 William Yarwood 则称3,700万英镑的利润是「绝对的丑闻」。这组数字预计将再次点燃英国国内关于寻求庇护者住宿成本的争论。
UK Asylum Housing Firm Clearsprings Posts Annual Accounts: Turnover Near £1.2 Billion, After-Tax Profit £37.7 Million
Newly published annual accounts for Clearsprings Ready Homes, based in Essex, England, show turnover of almost £1.2 billion in the 12 months to the end of January 2026, equivalent to about £3.26 million per day. That figure is revenue, not profit. Profit after tax for the same period was £37.7 million, down from £44.145 million the year before; the company held assets of about £89 million and housed 29,995 service users, down from 39,919.
Clearsprings is one of three Home Office contractors providing asylum accommodation, alongside Mears and Serco. Together they house 89,089 asylum seekers and failed asylum seekers at taxpayer expense.
The company's founder, 59-year-old Graham King, has been dubbed the 'Asylum King' in the British press; the Sunday Times Rich List puts his fortune at about £1.015 billion.
After the accounts were published, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told The Sun that taxpayers shelling out more than £1 billion a year was 'a huge scam,' while William Yarwood of the TaxPayers' Alliance called the £37 million profit an 'absolute scandal.' The figures are expected to reignite Britain's debate over the cost of asylum accommodation.
