How we can help

The GLAA is an organisation set up to protect you and other workers like you from exploitation. 

Our licensing scheme regulates businesses who provide workers to the fresh produce supply chain. 

We make sure that the businesses who supply workers (labour providers, gangmasters or agencies) and the businesses who need workers (labour users, farmers, packhouses, factories) meet the employment standards that are required by UK law.

All businesses who hold a current licence are listed online on the GLAA Public Register.

 

Which sectors are covered by a GLAA Licence?

A wide range of sectors are covered by the licensing scheme:

  • agriculture
  • horticulture
  • fish processing
  • gathering shellfish
  • dairy farming
  • the packaging or processing of any fresh produce - food, drinks and flowers.

 

So if your labour provider supplies workers to any of these sectors they will require a gangmasters licence. If they do not have one they are committing a criminal offence that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
