Hops Labour Solutions Ltd

HOPS is the commercial arm of The National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs. We ethically source seasonal labour for the land-based industry.

The Harvesting Opportunity Permit Scheme was founded in 1989 as a department of the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (England & Wales) (NFYFC) with a primary aim of providing youth experience to students from Eastern Europe through work placements with UK employers in the agriculture and horticulture industries. HOPS became over time a vital source of labour for the employers it worked with and by 2004 it become clear its primary function was to provide labour. HOPS became HOPS Labour Solutions in 2005 to better reflect its role as a labour provider.
HOPS remains owned by the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, with all share capital being held by the Trustees of the Federation.
