What food production operatives do on the line
A food factory runs on line staff. Extraman supplies production line operatives, packing staff, hygiene operatives and chilled-area workers who keep the line moving to output and quality standards.
We supply operatives who already understand hygiene discipline and line pace, so a shift starts without a long learning curve on a regulated site.
What does a food production operative do?
A food production operative works a factory line: preparing, processing, packing or checking product to output and quality standards, under strict hygiene rules. The role may cover chilled or cold-store areas. Extraman supplies GLAA-compliant operatives briefed on hygiene and site safety before the shift.
Why the GLAA licence lets us supply food sites
Food manufacturing is a GLAA regulated sector, so supplying labour into it legally requires a licence. Extraman holds one, so a factory can take our operatives without breaching gangmaster supply rules.
The licence protects the client too. 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 agency?
Food processing sits inside 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.

FAQs
Is Extraman GLAA licensed to supply food operatives?
Yes. Extraman holds a GLAA licence, which is a legal requirement for supplying labour into food manufacturing. That licence means a regulator has audited our recruitment, pay and welfare practice. A London food producer can take our operatives without breaching gangmaster supply rules.
How fast can you supply food production operatives?
Extraman confirms availability the same day for most London food sites. We hold a pool of hygiene-briefed operatives across the city, so short-notice line cover is standard. Give us the role, hygiene needs and start time and we respond immediately with cover for the line.
Are your operatives hygiene and PPE briefed?
Every Extraman operative is briefed on food hygiene and PPE before deployment, and we match staff with relevant factory experience where the role needs it. We can supply workers familiar with chilled and cold-store areas. Confirm your site's specific hygiene standards when you book.
Can you cover seasonal production peaks?
Yes. Food manufacturing volumes climb around retail seasons and promotions. Extraman ramps headcount for these windows and holds a reserve pool. Book recurring shifts early so we can protect your line cover through the busiest production runs across the year.
