Sales Accounts and Business Development Managers – UK Visa Applications

Recruiting high-calibre sales, accounts and business development managers can be crucial to a company’s success in an increasingly competitive global market.

Recruitment targets can be hampered by restrictions on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visas under UK immigration law, however – leaving UK businesses struggling to recruit the sales, accounts and business development managers they need from a global pool of talent.
