What food production roles can Extraman fill?

Why the GLAA licence matters for food factories
Food manufacturing is a GLAA regulated sector, so supplying labour into it legally requires a licence. Extraman holds one, which means a factory can take our staff without breaching the rules that govern gangmaster supply.
The licence also protects the client. A regulator has audited how Extraman recruits, pays and treats workers, so the producer is not exposed to supply-chain exploitation claims.
Why do food factories need a GLAA licensed supplier?
Food processing sits inside the GLAA licensing scope, so labour supplied into it must come from a licensed provider by law. Using an unlicensed agency is an offence for both parties. A licensed supplier means the regulator has audited pay and right-to-work, protecting the factory from prosecution and reputational harm.
