The list includes Manager or HR person of a VAT registered business or the Manager of a limited company. You dont know a single person that has the job title of Manager or above? Local cornershop? Pub? Hairdressers? Barbers? Nailsalon 

Bear in mind that as well as knowing the applicant for >2 years the countersignator must be well aware of their full name, with enough confidence to make their declaration, the purpose being to exclude (or reduce) the possibility that it's a fraudulent passport application.

They must be willing to make the declaration ultimately... we all got to know one of our barmaid's surnames last year when a retired-copper/regular agreed to sign her passport. All known her for years just never had the need to ask her surname.

Yes, in such a case, probably not uncommon, the signatory would have confidence from the years of acquaintance with the barmaid that she's applying for her own passport and not as an imposter.

If you know someone who is over 70 it won’t matter what their profession was. Do you know someone over 70 who has a current passport.
