Modern Slavery Statement — Man with Van in London

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the position of our man with van operation in London and the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. As a Man with Van London service provider we recognise our responsibility to ensure that everyone in our business and supply chain is treated with dignity and fairness. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and are committed to continuous improvement.

Our company values — whether you refer to us as a man with a van, a man-and-van team, or a local Man & Van provider — are founded on respect for human rights. We expect all staff, drivers, contractors and subcontractors to adhere to high standards of conduct. This statement applies to all areas of our operations across Greater London, including temporary labour and courier arrangements. We require compliance with legislation and best practice relating to human trafficking and forced labour.

To make this commitment practical we have embedded specific policies and controls into our day-to-day operations. Our

Zero-Tolerance Policy

is explicit: any instance or credible report of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour will be treated as a serious breach. Staff found to be complicit face disciplinary action, up to and including termination, and we will terminate relationships with suppliers who do not correct verified issues.

We perform regular supplier due diligence and risk assessments tailored to the logistics and transport sector. Our supplier screening includes checks for labour law compliance, documentation of employment terms, and verification of workers’ ability to enact rights without retaliation. Suppliers are required to sign our supplier code of conduct which explicitly references our anti-slavery expectations for any man with van subcontractor engaged on collection, delivery or removal jobs.

Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based schedule. High-risk relationships are audited annually and may include onsite inspections, document reviews and worker interviews. Audit findings generate corrective action plans and follow-up reviews. Where necessary, we reserve the right to suspend or end contracts with suppliers that fail to remedy identified non-compliances within agreed timeframes.

Our programme includes staff training, awareness campaigns and written resources so drivers and office staff can identify signs of exploitation. We use

clear reporting channels

to ensure concerns are raised promptly and handled appropriately. These channels are accessible to employees, temporary staff and third parties and allow for confidential and anonymous reporting where needed.

Reporting channels for suspected modern slavery include internal reporting to managers, escalation to our compliance lead, and the availability of independent whistleblowing mechanisms. We encourage early reporting and guarantee protection from retaliation for those who raise concerns in good faith. All reports are documented, investigated and, where appropriate, referred to relevant authorities.

Monitoring and performance indicators are used to evaluate the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. Key indicators include the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported and corrective actions implemented. We maintain records of contract clauses, recruitment checks and right-to-work verification to demonstrate compliance and to support ongoing oversight of our man with a van operations.

We are committed to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies. Each year we assess risks, review audit outcomes, update training materials and revise supplier engagement practices. The review includes a cross-functional evaluation to ensure that our man with van business model and the wider supply chain reflect evolving legal requirements and best practice. Our objective is to ensure that exploitation has no place in our organisation or among our partners.
