April 2025 marks the 20 year anniversary of the GLAA
1st April 2025
April 2025 marks the 20 year anniversary of our organisation.
Starting as the Gangmasters Licensing Authority, we were set up in 2005 to protect vulnerable and exploited workers in the fresh produce sector. We became the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority in 2017 when our remit was expanded, and are now responsible for preventing and investigating worker abuse and exploitation across the whole labour market in England and Wales.
Our CEO Elysia McCaffrey shares her thoughts as we mark 20 years of the GLAA.
On our 20 year anniversary page we have curated information and resources which tell our story and include some key cases we have investigated over the last 20 years.
