Modern Slavery Statement — Manwithvan London Commitment

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Manwithvan London to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. As a London-based removal and logistics provider — whether referenced as a man with van in London service, a Man With Van London operator, or the branded Manwithvan London — we recognise our responsibility to take robust steps to identify, reduce and remediate any risks of slavery or forced labour in our business and amongst our partners.

Zero‑Tolerance Policy and Core Principles

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. This policy is communicated across our workforce and to our suppliers and subcontractors. All staff and partners must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which prohibits forced labour, child labour, unlawful retention of identity documents and coercive practices. We make clear that any breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts and referral to relevant authorities.

Our business model — providing local and contracted removal services throughout London and surrounding areas — relies on a mix of employed drivers, contractors and third‑party logistics partners. We are committed to ensuring transparent recruitment, safe working conditions and fair pay across every variation of our operations, whether described as Manwithvan London services, London manwithvan teams or independent man with van networks operating on our behalf.

To identify and mitigate supply chain risks we undertake targeted due diligence and supplier risk assessments. Our procurement standards require suppliers to:

• Confirm adherence to anti-slavery laws and our Supplier Code;
• Provide evidence of employment records, right to work checks and lawful payroll practices;
• Permit scheduled audits and corrective action plans where concerns are identified.

Supplier audits are a core part of our compliance programme. We combine desktop reviews, self-assessment questionnaires and, where risk is elevated, face-to-face or remote audits of supplier practices. Audits focus on recruitment chains, subcontracting arrangements and any indicators of exploitation. Audit findings lead to mandatory corrective actions; persistent non‑compliance results in disengagement.

Reporting Channels and Protection for Whistleblowers

We maintain multiple secure reporting channels to allow employees, suppliers and members of the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. These channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms and internal escalation procedures. Reports are investigated promptly and confidentially, with protections in place to guard whistleblowers against retaliation. Where allegations are substantiated, we will take decisive remedial action and collaborate with statutory authorities when appropriate.

Our prevention measures also include staff training, contractual clauses and regular supplier engagement. Staff receive tailored training on recognising signs of exploitation and the steps to report concerns. Contracts with suppliers contain explicit anti-slavery provisions and audit rights. We emphasise continuous improvement through supplier workshops and collaborative problem-solving with high-risk partners.

The governance of this statement sits with senior management and the board. We have allocated responsibility for executing our anti-slavery programme, reviewing escalation outcomes and approving remediation plans. Our approach aims to be proportionate to risk but uncompromising in principle: modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chain, whether affecting drivers, warehouse staff, or subcontracted teams.

We will review and update this Modern Slavery Statement annually to reflect changes in our business, risk landscape and legal obligations. The annual review will evaluate policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, reporting trends and training uptake. Through transparent action, ongoing supplier scrutiny and a clear zero‑tolerance policy, Manwithvan London reiterates its commitment to eradicating modern slavery across every facet of our activity.
