During the Second World War, Concordia wanted to supported the peace effort by recruiting volunteer labourers to work on farms, to assist with the war effort and to foster much needed cross-cultural understanding and empathy.
Things have progressed considerably since then - we are now a government trusted recruiter of seasonal labour for the UK agriculture and horticulture industry, with the mission to foster cross-cultural understanding between citizens all over the world.
Today Concordia has a strong ethical reputation. As a charity we continue to lead the way in all aspects of our work. Our commitment to excellence in recruitment and support for workers continues to drive our way of working – with best-practice initiatives such as our pastoral fund, emergency support and comprehensive membership package for workers and our commitment to delivering the best possible service to our network of farms.
