About UK Works Ltd
Who We Are
A GLAA/FWA licensed recruitment and transport agency built on trust, compliance, and care for every worker we place.
Our Story
Placing workers across the UK
UK Works Ltd was founded with a single purpose: to connect hardworking people with employers who value them. We have grown into one of the UK's trusted names in logistics, warehousing, and transport recruitment.
We work with workers and employers across England, Scotland, and Wales — from large distribution centres to specialist transport operators. Every placement we make is backed by our commitment to fair pay, safe conditions, and full legal compliance.
Our team understands the pressures of the industry. We move quickly, communicate clearly, and stand behind every worker and employer we work with.
GLAA/FWA Licence
What Our GLAA/FWA Licence Means for You
The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and Fair Work Agency (FWA) licence is the gold standard for ethical recruitment in the UK. It is a legal requirement for agencies supplying workers in agriculture, horticulture, shellfish gathering, food processing, and packaging — and we hold it voluntarily across all our sectors as a mark of our commitment.
Workers Are Protected
We are legally required to ensure workers receive at least the National Minimum Wage, are not charged illegal fees, and have safe working conditions.
Employers Are Covered
Using a GLAA/FWA licensed agency protects your business from liability and demonstrates your own commitment to ethical supply chains.
Full Transparency
Our licence number is publicly verifiable on the GLAA/FWA register. We welcome any checks from workers, employers, or auditors.
No Exploitation
We have zero tolerance for labour exploitation, forced labour, or modern slavery. Every worker is treated with dignity and respect.
Our GLAA/FWA licence is publicly listed on the official register. Ask us for our licence number at any time.
