Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps taken by Man with Van Pimlico to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights, ensure fair working conditions, and act with integrity in all aspects of our business.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Pimlico provides local and regional transport, moving, and related services. Our supply chain includes vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, packaging and storage providers, cleaning and facilities services, and occasional use of subcontracted drivers and removal teams. We understand that risks relating to modern slavery can arise at various stages of the supply chain, especially where temporary labour or subcontracted services are involved.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. This commitment applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Man with Van Pimlico, including employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We expect the same high standards from all parties we work with and will not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in practices that are inconsistent with this stance.

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in our internal standards and forms part of our expectations of third parties. Where credible concerns are identified, we will investigate promptly and, where appropriate, suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers or partners who fail to meet our requirements or who refuse to engage in corrective action.

Supplier Standards and Audit Process

We are committed to working only with suppliers and subcontractors who share our values on ethical conduct and respect for human rights. As part of our onboarding and ongoing relationship management, we carry out proportionate checks on suppliers based on risk, size, and the type of services they provide.

Our approach includes due diligence questionnaires addressing labour practices, right-to-work verification, use of subcontractors, and health and safety arrangements. We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence supporting compliance with labour, wage, and working-time regulations. Where we identify areas for improvement, we will seek to work collaboratively with suppliers to raise standards and remedy issues, but we will not hesitate to discontinue relationships where serious breaches or a lack of cooperation are identified.

Training and Awareness

We recognise that effective prevention of modern slavery requires awareness and vigilance. Relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, supplier selection, and subcontractor management, receive guidance on identifying indicators of modern slavery and on our internal procedures. We aim to ensure that our people understand the risks within the transport and logistics sector and feel confident to raise concerns.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Pimlico encourages anyone who has concerns about possible modern slavery or human trafficking linked to our business or supply chain to report them as soon as possible. Concerns may relate to working conditions, treatment of workers, recruitment practices, or any situation that appears exploitative or coercive.

Employees are encouraged to report issues to their line manager or a senior manager. Workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders can also raise concerns through our general enquiry and feedback channels. We will treat all reports seriously, investigate appropriately, and ensure that no person who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process and that risks may change over time. Man with Van Pimlico is committed to continuous improvement in our policies, due diligence, and training measures. We will review this Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement at least once every year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, guidance, or our business activities.

The annual review will consider the effectiveness of our actions, feedback from staff and stakeholders, lessons learned from any incidents or investigations, and developments in best practice. Where necessary, we will enhance our procedures, strengthen supplier requirements, and update training to ensure our approach remains robust and effective.

This statement has been approved by the management of Man with Van Pimlico and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains.
