Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Pimlico
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Man With Van Pimlico to preventing modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that businesses providing transport, removals, and delivery services must remain vigilant, as risks may arise through labour providers, subcontractors, and the wider logistics network. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every area of the business, and any breach of this standard is treated as a serious matter.
Our Commitment
Man With Van Pimlico is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We require all employees, contractors, and partners to act responsibly and to uphold lawful working practices. Modern slavery has no place in our business, and we expect the same standard from everyone who supports our services. We promote a culture where ethical conduct is embedded in daily practice, supported by training, internal controls, and clear accountability.
As part of our approach, we assess potential risks in recruitment, subcontracting, and procurement. We aim to ensure that workers are employed voluntarily, paid fairly, and able to work free from coercion. Any sign of exploitation, document retention, debt bondage, or unsafe working conditions is investigated promptly. Where concerns arise, we take appropriate action, which may include suspension of work, termination of relationships, or escalation to relevant authorities.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect suppliers to share our commitment to ethical conduct. Before entering or renewing a relationship, we seek assurance that suppliers have suitable policies and practices in place to prevent forced labour and trafficking. This includes reviewing their labour arrangements, subcontracting controls, and compliance history. Supplier audits may be conducted on a risk-based basis to verify working conditions and confirm that acceptable standards are being maintained.
These audits may involve document checks, workforce verification, and discussions about recruitment methods, wage practices, and grievance processes. Where gaps are identified, we request corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. If a supplier fails to address serious issues, we reserve the right to discontinue the relationship. This approach helps ensure that our Man With Van Pimlico modern slavery statement is supported by practical action rather than words alone.
Training and Awareness
We provide guidance to staff so they can recognise warning signs of exploitation and understand how to respond appropriately. Training covers unusual pay deductions, restricted freedom of movement, signs of intimidation, and dependency on third parties. By increasing awareness, we strengthen our ability to identify concerns early and protect vulnerable individuals across the Man With Van Pimlico supply chain.
Reporting Channels and Escalation
We maintain clear reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised without delay. Employees and contractors are encouraged to report suspicions to management through internal reporting routes, and concerns are reviewed seriously and confidentially. Reports may relate to our own operations or to any supplier, subcontractor, or labour provider associated with our work.
All reports are assessed promptly and handled with discretion. We aim to protect individuals who raise concerns in good faith and do not tolerate retaliation or victimisation. Where an issue is substantiated, we work to investigate the facts, support affected workers where possible, and take decisive corrective action. This may include revising procedures, tightening supplier controls, or ending relationships where risk cannot be managed.
Our governance framework ensures that allegations are escalated to the appropriate decision-makers. Serious cases may also require external reporting or cooperation with enforcement agencies. By maintaining transparent processes, Man With Van Pimlico reinforces its anti-slavery commitment and supports a safer working environment for all.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal expectations and operational risks. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, staff training outcomes, and any changes in business activities. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and strengthen our preventive measures.
Through this annual review process, Man With Van Pimlico aims to improve accountability and maintain robust standards across the business. We view the prevention of modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. Our commitment remains clear: to operate ethically, to protect workers, and to ensure that every part of our service reflects respect for human dignity.
Modern slavery prevention is central to how we conduct business, and we will continue to monitor, review, and improve our practices each year. This statement reflects our present approach and our determination to uphold lawful, transparent, and responsible working standards across the Man With Van Pimlico modern slavery policy.
