Two labour providers have been appointed by the government for poultry businesses who need to appoint workers via the new seasonal worker visa.
The Government has informed the NFU that ProForce and RE Recruitment have been successful and anyone wanting to make use of the 2,000 visas for the poultry sector this year should make contact with them.
Their contact details are as follows:
ProForce: poultry@pro-force.co.uk
RE Recruitment: SeasonalWorkerVisa@rerecruitment.com
Seasonal Worker Visa – Dedicated Number – 01242 896 019
“It’s good news that we now have dedicated labour providers to operate the poultry visa scheme,” said NFU Poultry Board chair James Mottershead. “Given the limited time for visa applications to be made, I’d urge anyone needing visas to contact ProForce and RE Recruitment as soon as possible.
“The NFU will continue to work with the government as visas begin to be issued, to help ensure that the scheme runs effectively.”
