SWFPA Crew Services

We are a standalone recruitment company based in Scotland providing factory workers, forklift drivers, land workers in the food industry, fishermen, and offshore workers on guard vessels (cooks, officers of the watch and engineers).

The welfare of our workers is the first priority, and we manage their needs and those of their employer from the initial introduction until the end of employment. All our workers are fully vetted, and we comply fully with all UK and international immigration law, liaising with ports, shipping and overseas employment officers to ensure policies and procedures are followed. We audit our agents every year to ensure their procedures are legal and compliant, allowing us to provide the best service possible.

Our clients have full 24-7-365 support and access to a fully operational and managed platform where all mandatory certificates and qualifications are securely stored. The candidates and workers have access to a welfare app with a wealth of support and accessible mechanisms to assist them while they are away from home. Here, they can reach out to various welfare charities if they need guidance and advice.

We are a member of the Association of Labour Providers, hold a GLAA (Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority) licence and are recognised by the MCA (Maritime & Coastguard
Agency) as a recommended recruitment and placement agency. All of these organisations regularly audit us to ensure we remain legal and compliant.
