SOC 1241 (64% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Stobart 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 4134 (Transport and distribution clerks and assistants), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Stobart what the duties actually are.
