Man and Van Mayfair Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Man and Van Mayfair in recognition of our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting our business ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable laws on modern slavery and human rights.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man and Van Mayfair has a clear zero-tolerance stance towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour. We do not tolerate abusive or exploitative working practices of any kind, whether within our own business or in the activities of those who supply goods and services to us.

All individuals working for or with Man and Van Mayfair, regardless of their role or location, are expected to uphold this commitment. Any form of modern slavery is wholly incompatible with our values and will result in immediate and decisive action, which may include termination of contracts or working arrangements and reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man and Van Mayfair operates in the transport and removals sector, providing moving and related services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chain includes, but is not limited to, vehicle leasing and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging providers, technology and software providers, facility and cleaning services, and certain labour and subcontracted services for specialist tasks.

We recognise that risks of modern slavery can arise particularly in areas involving lower-paid work, subcontracted labour, or complex, multi-layered supply chains. We are therefore committed to identifying, assessing, and mitigating such risks on an ongoing basis.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to operate to high ethical standards and to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. As part of our approach:

We communicate our zero-tolerance policy to existing and prospective suppliers and make clear that compliance with this policy is a condition of doing business with Man and Van Mayfair. We seek assurances that suppliers have their own policies and controls in place to prevent modern slavery, and we consider this when entering or renewing contracts. We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence from suppliers regarding their labour practices, policies, and due diligence. Where we identify higher-risk suppliers or categories, we may apply enhanced scrutiny, more frequent review, or require corrective action plans.

Failure by a supplier to adequately address concerns related to modern slavery may result in modification, suspension, or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man and Van Mayfair encourages all employees, workers, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns may include signs of forced labour, restricted freedom of movement, retention of identity documents, unexplained deductions from wages, or any other form of exploitation.

Reports can be made to line managers, senior management, or an internal point of contact designated by the company for ethical and compliance matters. We are committed to handling all concerns sensitively, fairly, and as confidentially as possible, and to protecting individuals who report concerns in good faith from retaliation or detrimental treatment.

Training and Awareness

We aim to raise awareness of modern slavery risks among our workforce, especially those involved in procurement, supplier management, or recruitment. Training and internal communications focus on recognising warning signs, understanding reporting routes, and reinforcing our zero-tolerance approach.

By improving awareness, we seek to ensure that all relevant personnel are able to identify potential issues and respond appropriately and promptly.

Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Man and Van Mayfair. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and controls through periodic reviews of supplier arrangements, internal feedback, and any reported concerns or incidents.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the annual review, we will consider improvements to our risk assessment processes, supplier engagement, training activities, and reporting mechanisms.

Man and Van Mayfair remains fully committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery within our business and throughout our supply chains, and to operating at all times with integrity, respect, and accountability.
