Did you know that Vibe Recruit are fully GLAA Licensed?

This means we are fully licensed to supply workers to the UK Fresh Produce Sector including agriculture, horticulture, shellfish gathering and any associated processing and packaging.

The GLAA (Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority) exists to protect vulnerable workers from exploitation and sets a standard of best practise across the industry. 

What are the benefits of licensing?

  • Workers receive the fair treatment, pay, benefits and conditions they are entitled to.
  • Labour providers are not undercut by those who pay less than the minimum wage or avoid tax.
  • Industry standards are raised.
  • Labour users can check their workers come from a legitimate provider and are informed if their labour provider’s licence is revoked.
  • Consumers can be assured that their food has been picked and packed in an ethical environment.
  • Illegal activities which lead to a loss of public revenue – income tax, VAT and NI – are reduced.

Our clients and workers can be assured that we are 100% compliant and will work with the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority to prevent modern slavery and labour abuse.
