Modern Slavery Statement — London Man Van Commitment

London Man Van (also referred to as London man van and London removals van) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the policies and procedures we operate to ensure a robust, transparent approach to eliminating exploitation from our workforce and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all contractors, drivers and partners who work on behalf of the company.

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance stance towards forced labour and human trafficking. All staff, including agency workers and subcontractors, are expected to comply with our code of conduct and ethical standards. London ManVan requires proof of eligibility to work, voluntary employment, and fair remuneration for anyone performing services under our name. This includes periodic checks and mandatory training for employees and fleet personnel.

Our commitment is supported by due diligence processes focused on supplier management and contractor oversight. These procedures include risk assessments and supplier audits designed to identify and mitigate risks associated with modern slavery. Key elements are:

• Regular supplier screening and verification of labour practices.
• Contract clauses that prohibit forced labour and require ethical compliance.
• On-site and remote audits where necessary to confirm standards are met.

Supplier Audits and Responsible Procurement

Supplier audits form a central pillar of how London Man Van protects workers. We conduct scheduled and unscheduled reviews of contracted removal teams and fleet maintenance providers. Audits examine recruitment practices, payroll records, working hours and accommodation conditions where applicable. We use a risk-based approach, prioritising higher-risk vendors for more frequent checks.

Where audits reveal non-compliance, we apply corrective action plans with clear timelines. Persistent breaches can result in contract termination. Our procurement team collaborates with suppliers to implement improvements, offering guidance on compliance without compromising the firm stance of our zero-tolerance policy. We ensure that third-party couriers and partner vans meet the same standards as our in-house teams.

We maintain a register of suppliers and contractors and track audit outcomes, remediation steps and follow-up actions. The data informs our annual risk assessment and helps refine supplier selection and monitoring processes for the London man-and-van network we operate.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

We provide multiple secure channels for raising concerns about modern slavery and exploitation. Employees and third parties can report suspicious activity through confidential internal reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly by trained personnel. Protection measures are in place to prevent victimisation of whistleblowers or affected workers.

Reports are assessed, and when allegations require it we cooperate with relevant authorities and law enforcement. Our incident response includes support for victims, referrals to specialist services where appropriate, and immediate steps to prevent ongoing harm. The London removals van operation values transparency and ensures that internal investigations are impartial and well documented.

We emphasise a culture of vigilance among drivers, dispatch staff and contractors. Training covers indicators of exploitation, how to escalate concerns and the obligations of managers to act. Communication is continually improved to ensure awareness across the entire London manvan workforce.

Annual review is fundamental to maintaining effective anti-slavery measures. Each year, senior management reviews our policies, audit outcomes and reporting trends to ensure continuous improvement. The review assesses the effectiveness of the zero-tolerance policy, supplier audit processes, training programs and reporting channels, making changes where necessary to strengthen protections.

We publish findings within organisational reports and adjust resourcing to areas of highest risk. Lessons learned from internal investigations and supplier remediation inform policy updates and training refreshers. This cycle of monitoring, review and improvement ensures that our approach to combating modern slavery remains dynamic and responsive.

By combining firm policies, targeted supplier audits, confidential reporting routes and an annual review process, London Man Van reaffirms its dedication to eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chain. Our ongoing efforts aim to safeguard workers, uphold human rights and maintain ethical standards across all London man & van services.
