Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Fulwell

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man with Van Fulwell to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all areas of our business and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery does not occur.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Man with Van Fulwell has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or supplier who is involved in or complicit with such practices.

All staff, including management, drivers, operations personnel, and contractors, are expected to uphold this commitment. Breaches of this policy are treated as serious misconduct and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man with Van Fulwell provides transportation, moving, and related logistics services. Our supply chain includes vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, and outsourced services such as cleaning, storage, and administrative support.

While we operate primarily within the United Kingdom and consider our overall risk exposure to be relatively low, we recognise that no sector or geography is entirely free from the risk of modern slavery. We therefore apply consistent standards across all aspects of our operations.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we:

Request information from suppliers about their own policies, procedures, and controls relating to modern slavery and human rights. Require suppliers to confirm their compliance with all applicable labour, employment, and anti-slavery laws. Reserve the right to conduct audits, site visits, or request additional documentation where we identify an elevated risk or where concerns are raised.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls, or if we identify non-compliance, we will seek corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. Continued non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Responsibility for implementing this statement rests with the senior management team of Man with Van Fulwell. Managers are required to ensure that the people they supervise understand our zero-tolerance position and know how to escalate concerns.

We aim to raise awareness of modern slavery indicators among relevant staff, especially those involved in recruitment, procurement, and direct management of suppliers or subcontractors. Training and guidance are kept proportionate to the size and nature of our operations and are reviewed as our risk profile evolves.

Reporting Concerns and Protection

Man with Van Fulwell encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery in our business or supply chains. Reports can be made to line managers or senior management.

All concerns will be taken seriously and handled sensitively. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not confirmed upon investigation. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant authorities.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is an ongoing process. Man with Van Fulwell is committed to continuous improvement of our policies, procedures, and due diligence activities. We will review our risk assessment periodically and adapt our controls as our business, supply chains, and regulatory environment evolve.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every twelve months by senior management. The review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in legislation, and feedback from employees and suppliers. Following each review, we will update this statement and our internal procedures where necessary to strengthen our approach.

This statement reflects the position of Man with Van Fulwell at the date of publication and applies to all aspects of our operations and supply chains.
