SOC 3549 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and James Andrews Recruitment Solutions Ltd 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 1134 (Purchasing managers and directors, If managing purchasing of training contracts is main duty). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
