PRESENTING V V WORKERS LIMITED:

1. PRESENTING V V WORKERS LIMITED: • Already an experienced labour-supplier in the UK • Registered with the UK’s Gangmasters Licensing Authority – Licence Number V V WO0001 • Now providing hard-working EU nationals from rural communities for a range of labour-users

2. WHY LABOUR-USERS CHOOSE US: • We are a company that is already experienced in providing workers in the UK • We hold a licence from the UK’s Gangmasters Licensing Authority • We are still quite new to agriculture, so we’re determined to earn a good reputation • We come with good references from existing UK labour-users with whom you may speak • We have a large pool of suitable labour – people who have been born and bred within agricultural communities in Bulgaria (part of the EU) • Because of that background, our workforce can – and will – hit the ground running! • We think that we work even harder than the Poles! • Our rates are very competitive • We try to offer 100% flexibility • We provide an agency supply or employment service to suit your needs

3. WHY WORKERS CHOOSE US: Without good workers our business would not succeed. That is why we: • Are committed to giving all of our candidates the highest quality service • Will do everything we can to place workers in the right job and the right farm • Work hard to ensure a good match • Are only satisfied when both the worker and labour-user are happy • Clearly state salaries and benefits, and pay workers promptly • Never commit workers without consulting them • Ensure that workers are protected, insured, trained for any new work, and generally treated properly by labour-users

4. The SERVICES WE PROVIDE: • V V Workers offers jobs, careers and places in the agricultural community • Within the agricultural sector there are many different jobs. Each of those jobs has its own specific purpose and responsibilities • Yet the overall purpose of agriculture is to grow plants and raise animals – in order to make profit • Some jobs might involve heavy work – perhaps preparing and fertilizing soil in order to grow crops • Other jobs might be much lighter – and could involve growing flowers or sorting produce into categories for consumers • There is usually a supervisor who manages both workers and processes, making decisions and giving instructions that must be followed • Our structured and easy-to-follow job descriptions explain what has to be done – and how to do it • Our agreements are clear. So labour-users always know what to expect from our workers. And workers know what they must deliver

5. DUTIES for LIVESTOCK WORKERS: • Workers who are responsible for livestock (also known as ‘animal husbandry’) may look after common animals such as cattle, sheep, chickens, deer and pigs • But, increasingly, those animals may be more exotic. So they could include buffalo, ostrich, lamas and wild boar – or more! • Workers will be responsible for providing food and drink for such animals • Workers must ensure that the environments in which the animals live are clean and safe • Workers must usually weigh and treat the animals • Workers must monitor livestock for sickness or injury – and report any worries immediately • Workers must ensure that the farm products are fit to take to the market • Workers must observe responsibilities to their own safety and that of other people around them – on the farm and, if relevant, on the roads

6. The ABILITIES REQUIRED: Agricultural workers typically perform manual labour. So an education and experience are not usually required. But the key abilities that workers need are: • A determination to start early, on time, and to work long hours when conditions allow. This especially important during planting and harvesting times • Physical strength and endurance • The capacity to work hard • Good manual dexterity • The ability to follow safety procedures – even when tired • An interest in the work and an enthusiasm for it! • A sense of responsibility!

7. RISKS in DAILY LIFE: • The life of an agricultural worker is often long and hard. Workers must be medically fit – and healthy – to work • Workers must be trained and/or have experience in using any equipment, especially if it is heavy or potentially dangerous • Workers who are unsure about how to use equipment must say so – and ask for instructions before they touch it! • Care must be taken when working around other people (other workers and members of the public) • Care must be taken when working near all animals, especially since some animals can be dangerous • Workers must understand and protect themselves against risks from pesticides and other chemical agents – as well as noxious risks such as slurry (animal waste) • Workers must be aware of common dangers on farms – e.g. fires and grain stores • Workers must also limit risks to the environment – especially water supplies • Workers should always know about any hazards in their working environment before they start to work

8. PAYMENTS: • The average pay for agricultural workers varies greatly • Farm labourers usually earn around £ 6 an hour • Animal breeders can earn up to £ 9 an hour • Your pay will be at least the legal minimum wage in the UK for the work (this can vary according to age) • Deductions will only be those which, by law, have to be made (for tax etc) • Workers are always given a pay-slip which itemizes everything. This is a legal document • Farm work usually has few other benefits • Some labour-users supply seasonal workers with accommodation and food • Our workers are paid promptly
