SOC 2483 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and LRQA GROUP LIMITED is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3581 (Inspectors of standards and regulations, Compliance inspection of food safety standards across sectors), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask LRQA GROUP LIMITED what the duties actually are.
