Local Agency Achieves Gang Master Status

Local Recruitment Agency “Recruitment Now” is celebrating having been awarded their Gang Master Licence in August 2010.

The Gang masters Licensing Authority (GLA) regulates those who supply labour or use workers to provide services in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, shellfish gathering and food processing and packaging.

In order to achieve the gang master status the agency has been taken through a thorough and stringent audit and assessment process to ensure its suitability to provide such staff.

Managing Director Sarah Nixon says. “Recruitment Now has been established for 7 years, 4 of which we have supplied temporary staff services across a number of disciplines. I had always had my eye on trying to get the gang master license and decided that 2010 was the year to go for it. Our Industrial and Catering Temps Divisions have been so successful that it seems like the natural progression to move into food production and processing, it is a legal requirement that the high quality and standards required for us to pass the assessment are maintained so our clients can rest assured that our services levels will be consistently high. We are delighted to have become a gang master – it’s a big achievement for us!”
