Modern Slavery Statement — London Man with Van

London Man with Van confirms a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery and human trafficking across all our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement applies to the company’s activities, including the man and van London services we provide, and reflects our commitment to ensure that exploitation does not form part of our supply chain. We operate as a responsible London moving van provider and expect all colleagues and suppliers to adhere to this principle.

We are committed to preventing forced labour, bonded work, and any form of human trafficking in the provision of our removals and man and van services in London. Our policies require clear standards of behaviour and transparent recruitment practices for drivers, loaders and subcontractors. All staff are trained to recognise the signs of exploitation and to act in accordance with our reporting procedures.

Our procurement and contracting documentation communicates our expectations to every third-party supplier and partner. Suppliers to our London removal service are required to accept contractual clauses that prohibit exploitative practices and permit periodic reviews of their labour standards. We use background checks and references to confirm that engagement terms are lawful and fair.

We carry out targeted supplier audits and due diligence to reduce the risk of modern slavery in the supply chain of our man with van London operations. Audits include documentation reviews, spot checks and interviews where appropriate. Where risks are identified, we set corrective action plans with clear timelines, remediation steps and follow-up verification.

Our due diligence process includes:

• Pre-engagement checks to verify legal status and employment practices;
• Risk-based audits for suppliers in roles with higher vulnerability to exploitation;
• Regular performance assessments against our ethical standards.

We engage external auditors where necessary and require suppliers to provide evidence of their employment records. Our approach to supplier oversight is proportionate to the assessed risk and supports continuous improvement across our supply chain.

We operate multiple confidential reporting channels for any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Staff and third parties can raise issues through internal reporting lines and designated whistleblowing routes. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Confidentiality and protection from retaliation are core to our process.

Our People and Compliance teams ensure relevant staff receive training on spotting indicators of exploitation and on how to escalate concerns. We maintain clear investigation protocols and disciplinary measures for non-compliance. Where exploitation is discovered, we will act to protect victims, cooperate with authorities and apply contractual sanctions against implicated suppliers.

The Board of London Man with Van retains oversight of the Modern Slavery Statement implementation. Our governance framework assigns clear responsibilities for compliance and continuous monitoring. The leadership team reviews significant incidents and remediation outcomes to refine our practice.

We will publish progress on our anti-slavery measures and update our policies as necessary. This statement is endorsed by senior management and forms part of our commitment to ethical operations across London and beyond. As a reputable man and van provider, we recognise the importance of transparency in protecting vulnerable people and upholding human rights.

Annual review: We conduct an annual review of our Modern Slavery Statement, supplier audit results, training uptake and incident records. This review considers evolving risks, legislative changes and best practice for the removal industry. Improvements identified during the review will be implemented and tracked to ensure effectiveness.

In summary, London Man with Van enforces a robust, multi-layered approach to prevent modern slavery: a strict zero-tolerance stance, targeted supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, ongoing staff training and an annual review cycle to drive continual improvement across our London moving and man and van operations.
