New CEO for GLAA

Elysia McCaffrey is the new chief executive of the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA).

Elysia is a senior civil servant who was previously at the Cabinet Office, where she was leading on the implementation of new infrastructure at UK ports to support post EU-exit arrangements.

Previously, she was the Interim Director of the Government Equalities Office, where she led on developing a new strategy and vision for equality for the UK.

Elysia said: “I am absolutely delighted to have joined the GLAA, it’s an incredible privilege to be entrusted with such an important area of responsibility. Protecting vulnerable workers from exploitation has arguably never been more important and I’m looking forward to playing my part in leading the GLAA and helping make a difference.”
