Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man With a Van Mayfair

Man With a Van Mayfair is committed to conducting business in a responsible and ethical manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to ensure that our services are delivered without exploitation of any kind.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man With a Van Mayfair provides transport and removal services to individual and business customers. Our operations rely on a network of suppliers and service partners, including vehicle providers, equipment suppliers, and subcontracted labour. We understand that risks related to modern slavery can arise within logistics and labour-intensive services, and we are committed to identifying and mitigating those risks.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We have a clear, zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This policy applies to everyone working for or on behalf of Man With a Van Mayfair, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. Any involvement in modern slavery is strictly prohibited and will result in the termination of business relationships and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

We expect all individuals and organisations connected to our business to share this commitment and to uphold the same high standards of ethical conduct.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who demonstrate respect for human rights and compliance with applicable labour laws. As part of our due diligence process, we assess potential new suppliers on their labour practices, working conditions, and approach to modern slavery risks.

Where risk is considered higher due to geography, sector, or type of service, we implement enhanced checks, including requests for supporting policies and statements from suppliers. We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence to confirm compliance, and we may carry out site visits where appropriate and practical.

Existing suppliers are subject to ongoing monitoring. If we identify concerns or non-compliance, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe. Persistent or serious breaches will result in the suspension or termination of the commercial relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone connected to Man With a Van Mayfair, including employees, workers, suppliers, and customers, to raise concerns about possible modern slavery or unethical labour practices without fear of retaliation.

Concerns can be reported to management in person or in writing. All reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other relevant bodies. We will ensure that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of speaking up.

Training and Awareness

We provide guidance and awareness for our team on recognising indicators of modern slavery and on the steps to take if they suspect any form of exploitation. This includes understanding signs of forced labour, unsafe working conditions, or the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.

Managers and those involved in procurement and supplier management receive additional guidance on assessing risk and applying our due diligence standards consistently.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with senior management. They ensure our policies are implemented, that risk assessments are carried out, and that appropriate actions are taken where concerns are identified.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in our business, our supply chains, and legal or regulatory requirements. As part of this review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our measures, consider feedback from stakeholders, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Man With a Van Mayfair remains dedicated to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains, and to maintaining a culture of respect, integrity, and accountability throughout our business.
