Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Millhill

Man And Van Millhill is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitative working conditions in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting workers and maintaining responsible business practices.

As a removal and transport service, we may engage suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers across different locations. For that reason, we apply clear due diligence measures to identify, assess, and address risks. Our commitment covers recruitment practices, labour conditions, subcontracted work, and the sourcing of goods and services used in support of our operations. We expect every partner to uphold the same ethical standards that define the Man And Van Millhill name.

We do not accept any form of modern slavery in our business or supply chain. Any suspected breach is treated seriously and may result in immediate termination of a business relationship, referral to the relevant authorities, or both. Our approach is rooted in prevention, transparency, and accountability.

To reduce risk, we carry out supplier audits and periodic checks on higher-risk relationships. These reviews may include verification of labour practices, employment records, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of lawful working hours and pay. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress closely. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we reserve the right to suspend work until the issue is resolved.

Our procurement process includes screening for signs of exploitation, such as excessive recruitment fees, restricted movement, withholding of identity documents, or poor accommodation conditions. We also encourage responsible hiring practices and expect suppliers to provide workers with clear contracts, fair pay, and the freedom to leave employment in accordance with the law. These controls help ensure that the Man And Van Millhill modern slavery policy remains effective in practice, not just in principle.

Training and internal awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, logistics, and supplier management are expected to understand the warning signs of modern slavery and to act immediately if something seems wrong. We reinforce the message that ethical conduct is not optional; it is a core part of how Man And Van Millhill operates.

We provide safe reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Workers, suppliers, and employees are encouraged to report suspected abuse, unsafe practices, or unethical recruitment through internal reporting routes established within the business. Every report is taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. Where necessary, we will involve senior management to ensure a swift and appropriate response.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that no manager, contractor, or supplier may ignore or conceal indicators of slavery or human trafficking. We believe responsible business requires vigilance at every stage of service delivery. Accordingly, Man And Van Millhill continues to strengthen oversight, improve supplier engagement, and review processes that may present risk.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. We understand that modern slavery can be hidden and complex, so our controls are designed to evolve as risks change. When issues are detected, we act quickly to protect affected individuals and to prevent recurrence. Ethical standards guide our decisions, from supplier selection to day-to-day operations.

In support of accountability, this statement will be subject to an annual review. Each review will consider emerging risks, findings from supplier audits, feedback from internal monitoring, and any changes in law or best practice. The outcome of the review will inform updates to our policies, procedures, and training so that our response remains effective and proportionate.

We also expect our supply chain partners to demonstrate the same level of responsibility. This includes maintaining accurate records, cooperating with audits, and taking prompt corrective action where concerns arise. By setting clear expectations and monitoring performance, Man And Van Millhill aims to support fair working conditions throughout its network.

Man And Van Millhill modern slavery statement stands as a clear declaration of our values: respect for people, lawful conduct, and continuous vigilance against exploitation. Through supplier oversight, reporting mechanisms, and annual review, we remain committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business.
