The BFFF would like to make you aware of a new portal that has recently launched, specifically aimed at helping those who may be experiencing challenges with sourcing workers.
The Association of Labour Providers ‘Extra Workers Needed Portal’ supports the food supply chain to address critical worker shortages. A short demonstration video may be viewed here.
Despite rising unemployment figures, ALP’s recent labour supply survey identified that 92% of food growers and manufacturers believe there will be insufficient critical workers to meet the food supply chain’s needs in 2021. Labour challenges are currently further exacerbated by higher Covid related absence rates.
The ‘Extra Workers Needed Portal’ allows any food supply chain business that needs extra workers to post their requirements for free in the portal and be contacted by UK wide and local GLAA licensed ALP labour providers that can supply them.
Businesses can find out more about the ALP and register to use the portal here.
Should you be experiencing problems in sourcing workers then the ALP would also welcome you contacting them directly on: 01276 509306 or info@labourproviders.org.uk
