@skydriller because a UK CPL or ATPL cannot be used commercially
I am not a CPL holder. But, I applied to the CAA for (and received) a lifetime UK PPL on the back of my CAA issued EASA PPL. I then applied to change the state of issue of my EASA PPL to continue being able to fly non-G-reg EASA aeroplanes. Why would this not be possible for CPL or ATPL holders should they feel the need?
I just know Im covered whatever the politicians do…

Yes, for sure, but my point is that they don’t need this. Not for next two years anyway. And prob100 never after that, because it will never be in the UK CAA interest to not accept EASA papers for G-regs. And this is true even if no deal whatsoever is done post-brexit, which is itself prob100 unlikely; loads of deals will be done along lines of mutual interest, as always…

Seems to me like an employer requirement as they have G-fleet probably?
You can always go back if you need to…
This is a curious requirement since the UK CAA has stated that they will accept EASA papers for 2 years post-brexit. That takes care of any G-reg aircraft, for worldwide ops. It is Brussels which has said they will not accept UK papers at all for EASA-regs post-brexit – which is a lot more aggressive – and while that is IMHO hardly capable of being sustained on the relevant day, operators have to assume it will be implemented.
So this would not be a smart conversion, at a time when people try to convert their licenses the other direction.
Probably not possible while the UK is in EASA, you can only have one EASA licence and probably not worth it when the UK is not in EASA…
They want you to do a state of licence issue conversion to UK for your EASA licence. You can’t hold two EASA licences in different states.
Here is the text from the ad:
“Valid UK CAA issue EASA Frozen ATPL, CPL or MPL (or willing to convert prior to employment)”
This is what I was asking. My main objective is not losing the non-UK EASA CPL.

What companies would want a UK CPL? It is only valid for Annex I (nee II) aircraft
The Concorde is Annex I, so he maybe onto a prestigious job after all
You can force the UK CAA to issue you a UK PPL/CPL/ATPL if you can get your hand on some Annex I aircraft that require a TR (not sure that many are around 
)
