At Man And A Van Mayfair, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their dignity.

Our policy applies to all areas of the business, including employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect every party associated with Man And A Van Mayfair to uphold lawful employment practices, fair treatment, and ethical conduct. In particular, we require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour laws and to avoid any use of coercion, document retention, debt bondage, or unsafe working conditions. These standards are embedded into our procurement expectations and reviewed as part of supplier onboarding.

We understand that risk can arise across transport, logistics, labour provision, and subcontracted services. For this reason, our Man and Van Mayfair modern slavery statement includes due diligence measures designed to identify and reduce exposure. These measures include assessing supplier reputation, reviewing employment practices where appropriate, and considering the geographical and sector-specific risks linked to the services we use. If concerns are identified, we escalate them promptly and, where necessary, suspend or end the relationship.

Our commitment is reinforced through training and internal accountability. Managers are expected to recognise indicators of exploitation, such as unusual wage arrangements, restricted movement, or workers lacking control over personal documents. Awareness is essential, and we ensure relevant staff understand the signs that may indicate abuse. By maintaining clear responsibilities and promoting vigilance, Mayfair man and van services can act swiftly if any concern arises.

Supplier audits form a central part of our control framework. Depending on risk, we may carry out document reviews, request confirmation of labour standards, and assess subcontractor arrangements. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to provide evidence of policies, wage compliance, right-to-work procedures, and safe working conditions. Our audits are proportionate and risk-based, allowing us to focus on higher-risk categories without compromising consistency. Any supplier found to be non-compliant must implement corrective action within a defined timeframe.

Reporting and escalation are also critical to our approach. We encourage all staff, workers, and supply chain partners to raise concerns in good faith if they suspect abuse, unethical recruitment, or any breach of our standards. Reporting channels are available through management and internal compliance routes, and all reports are handled sensitively. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up. Allegations are investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken, which may include supplier termination or notification to relevant authorities.

To ensure continuing effectiveness, this statement is reviewed annually. The review considers changes in legislation, operational risk, supplier performance, and the outcomes of audits or investigations. Continuous improvement is important to us, and we use each review to strengthen our controls, refresh internal guidance, and update our risk assessment approach. The annual review also helps us confirm that our modern slavery policy remains proportionate and aligned with the size and nature of the business.

We also expect our partners to reflect the same values. Any supplier working with Man And A Van Mayfair must share our commitment to ethical sourcing and lawful employment. If a supplier cannot meet these expectations, we will seek alternatives that better align with our standards. Our aim is not only compliance, but the active promotion of a fair, responsible, and respectful working environment across the supply chain.

This statement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, Man And A Van Mayfair seeks to protect vulnerable people and support ethical business practices. We will continue to strengthen our controls and uphold the principle that every person deserves to work freely, safely, and with dignity.
