A Welling gangmaster has had its licence revoked by the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA).

The action was taken against High Class Recruitment based in Welling, Kent after the authority was informed that manager Paul Sangster had left the company. The GLA does not allow a licence to be held when it is clear that no person currently working is permitted to act as a gangmaster.

Following repeated attempts by the GLA to contact the remaining director to see if the business was still trading, the licence was formally revoked.

Recruiter was unable to contact the firm for comment.
