Modern Slavery Statement — Movers Man with Van Commitment
At Movers Man with Van we declare a clear and uncompromising position: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out how our man and van movers business identifies, prevents and responds to the risk of exploitation. We recognise that as a provider of man with van moving services we have a responsibility to act, to detect risks and to protect workers and communities.
Our leadership team is accountable for enforcing anti-slavery measures and for integrating them into the core of our movers — man with a van operations. We maintain written policies that define unacceptable practices, and we ensure all staff and contractors understand that any form of forced labour, debt bondage or human trafficking is prohibited. This company-wide stance is supported by specific procedures for recruitment, payroll and working conditions that apply to full-time staff, contractors and subcontracted man and van suppliers.
We perform proactive supplier due diligence and conduct regular supplier audits to assess compliance. Our procurement teams maintain risk-based screening of suppliers and partners: where higher risk is identified, we carry out on-site inspections and documentary reviews. The supplier audit process for our man-and-van suppliers includes checks on working hours, wage records, identity verification, and freedom of movement to ensure there are no indicators of modern slavery anywhere in the chain.
Supply Chain Controls and Contractual Commitments
Contracts with third-party providers include explicit anti-slavery clauses that require compliance with this modern slavery policy. We reserve the right to terminate agreements with suppliers who breach our standards. Our supplier audits inform corrective action plans and, when necessary, remediation steps. As part of our continuous approach, we map our supply chain to identify where additional scrutiny is needed, focusing on sub-contractors commonly used in the man with van moving sector.
We also deploy training and awareness programmes for staff and managers to spot signs of exploitation. Training covers recruitment red flags, proper record-keeping, and how to escalate concerns. These sessions are mandatory for teams recruiting drivers, loaders and temporary labour, ensuring that those working in our man and van business apply consistent safeguards in hiring and supervision.
To support reporting and transparency we maintain secure and accessible reporting channels that encourage immediate escalation of suspected modern slavery incidents. Our reporting mechanisms include:
- Internal reporting line through designated compliance officers;
- Anonymous reporting via a confidential hotline and secure online form;
- Formal incident logging that triggers investigations and audit follow-ups.
Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement
We monitor performance through key metrics such as supplier audit completion rates, corrective action closures and training uptake across our man and van fleet. Regular reviews of incidents and near-misses feed into risk assessments and help refine our controls. Movers man with van operations are included in quarterly compliance reviews, and findings are reported to senior management for action.
Our commitment includes annual review of this modern slavery statement and the effectiveness of our measures. Each year we publish a formal review that summarises audit outcomes, policy changes, and improvements made to supplier due diligence. The review process involves internal stakeholders and, where appropriate, external auditors to validate our approach and recommend enhancements.
In conclusion, Movers — Man with a Van remains steadfast in its commitment to combat modern slavery. We will continue to develop our supplier audits, strengthen reporting channels, and perform an annual review to ensure ongoing improvement. By embedding these protections into our culture and operations we aim to protect people, uphold human rights and ensure ethical practices across the man with van moving industry.
