Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Limehouse

Man With Van Limehouse is 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, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that every part of a responsible Man With Van Limehouse service must be built on lawful, ethical, and fair treatment of all workers.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across the organisation and to all contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We do not accept any form of exploitation, abuse of vulnerability, deception, intimidation, or withholding of wages. Any suspected breach is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and may result in the termination of a working relationship. This approach supports our wider commitment to ethical logistics and a safe working environment.

We understand that risks can arise in transport, removals, and associated services, particularly where labour is sourced through third parties. To reduce those risks, Man With Van Limehouse applies due diligence checks before onboarding suppliers and periodically reviews existing arrangements. We assess labour standards, working conditions, right-to-work controls, subcontracting practices, and evidence of fair pay. This helps us maintain confidence that our partners share our values.

Supplier Oversight and Risk Management

Supplier audits are an important part of our prevention framework. Depending on the level of risk, we may request documentation, conduct remote audits, or undertake on-site reviews of supplier practices. These audits focus on recruitment processes, employment records, pay arrangements, and the treatment of workers. Where improvement is needed, we expect corrective action within agreed timeframes and monitor progress closely.

Our procurement decisions are informed by risk-based screening. Higher-risk indicators may include complex subcontracting, unusual payment structures, or a lack of transparency in staffing arrangements. In such cases, Man With Van Limehouse may require additional assurances before any work begins. We also encourage suppliers to keep clear records and to maintain policies that align with our own standards on modern slavery and ethical conduct.

Training and awareness are central to prevention. Relevant team members are made aware of indicators that may suggest exploitation, such as restricted movement, signs of coercion, or workers who appear unable to speak freely about their employment. By improving awareness, we strengthen our ability to identify and respond to concerns early. This is essential to preserving the integrity of the Man With Van Limehouse name and the wider supply chain.

Reporting, Response, and Governance

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and in confidence. Reports may be made to management, through internal compliance routes, or via approved safeguarding procedures. All concerns are handled sensitively, and we prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises an issue in good faith. This commitment supports an open culture where potential abuse can be addressed without fear.

Man With Van Limehouse will investigate reports proportionately and act where necessary to protect affected individuals. If a concern is substantiated, we will work with the relevant parties to stop harmful practices, support remediation, and prevent recurrence. Where a supplier is unwilling to improve, we will end the relationship. Our response prioritises human dignity, legal compliance, and responsible business practice.

This statement is reviewed by senior management and forms part of our broader governance framework. We expect managers to maintain oversight of risk areas and to ensure that controls remain effective. We also encourage ongoing collaboration with suppliers so that expectations are understood and embedded throughout operations. The aim is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in ethical standards.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement for Man With Van Limehouse will be reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, business activity, and supply chain risk. Each review considers audit findings, incident reports, training needs, and the effectiveness of our control measures. Updates are made where necessary to ensure the statement remains accurate, practical, and aligned with our zero-tolerance approach.

By maintaining vigilance, strengthening supplier audits, supporting clear reporting channels, and reviewing our framework every year, Man With Van Limehouse reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. We believe responsible business should protect people, uphold fair treatment, and contribute to a supply chain built on trust, accountability, and respect.
