Rosser has worked more than 20 years in labour markets and supply chains, spending a decade as a non-exec with an executive agency of the Scottish Government.

Director of REED Screening, Rosser was also appointed to the Ministerial Advisory Panel to the Taylor Review of Good Work and has developed co-regulatory practice within the labour market, which has been included in every annual labour market enforcement strategy.

He is currently working on regulation for online recruitment as part of the Online Harms Bill and for more than 10 years has also been chair of SAFERjobs, which recently launched JobsAware, a community interest company with cross-government support that has helped over 2m jobseekers.

Rosser was quoted in the GLAA announcement as saying: “The GLAA's commitment to protecting workers, to raising standards within the labour market, and to tackling the erosion of work rights in our post-pandemic labour market attracted me to the board position.”

Phil Cain, a former deputy chief constable and RAF veteran, was also appointed to GLAA’s board.

Board chair Julia Mulligan said the appointments of Rosser and Cain would strengthen the GLAA board even further, while CEO Elysia McCaffrey said both would bring a wealth of experience and knowledge that could only assist the GLAA in protecting vulnerable workers from exploitation.

Both men will join other board members at the July board meeting at Apex Court today [Monday 18 July 2022].
