SOC 3552 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and The FoodFellas is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, Role involves promotional campaigns and product launches, marketing-oriented account work) or SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Works with National Account Manager on account growth and development). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
