Being chosen to implement the Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme, which was extended in December 2020, makes Concordia proud.
The UK government increased the number of VISAs available for seasonal workers on UK farms under the Pilot scheme from 10,000 to 30,000 in 2021.
About it
The success of the UK’s edible horticulture sector depends heavily on these seasonal laborers.
The highest ethical standard in the agricultural industry is ensured by Concordia’s holistic approach to the labor supply chain.
Workers are placed at farms that have made investments in training, amenities, and participant welfare without having to pay agents any optional non-recruitment fees, have free travel insurance, and receive a full care package.
To guarantee that non-EU workers are placed in the regions of the UK with the highest need, Concordia collaborates closely with the NFU (National Farmers Union).

To reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, Concordia tries to place all employees on farms with larger seasonal working groups.
If you are a worker and would want to participate in the program, kindly get in touch with G Solutions Group locally. If you are chosen for a placement, Concordia will give you a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) number.
You will then need to go to your neighborhood visa center to get a visa. With this process, your agent will assist you.
