Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Millhill

Man With Van Millhill is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to reduce the risk of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any form of slavery or servitude, and we expect the same standard from all partners, contractors, and suppliers.

Our business recognises that the transport and removals sector can involve multiple service providers, subcontractors, and labour arrangements. Because of this, we apply robust checks to help ensure that every person working for or on behalf of Man With Van Millhill is treated lawfully and ethically. We promote fair recruitment practices, lawful working hours, proper wage payments, and safe working conditions at every level of service delivery.

We also expect our suppliers to uphold these values. Any supplier engaging with Man With Van Millhill must comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Where appropriate, supplier onboarding includes due diligence, identity verification, and confirmation of business legitimacy. If a supplier is found to have weak controls or a potential link to exploitation, we will investigate and, where necessary, suspend or terminate the relationship.

Policies, Controls, and Accountability

To support our zero-tolerance policy, we assign responsibility for modern slavery prevention to management oversight, with regular internal monitoring of procurement and subcontracting activities. We encourage a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and respected. All relevant personnel are reminded to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, inconsistent pay practices, or signs that a worker may not be free to leave employment.

Supplier management is a key part of our approach. Man With Van Millhill conducts supplier audits where appropriate, focusing on labour standards, workforce transparency, and compliance with contractual commitments. Audits may include document checks, review of employment terms, and assessment of whether workers are recruited and employed responsibly. We use these findings to identify risks early and to drive improvement where concerns are discovered.

In cases where a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we will require corrective action and set clear timelines for improvement. Persistent non-compliance may result in the end of the business relationship. This approach reinforces our commitment to ethical sourcing and helps protect vulnerable people from exploitation. It also ensures that our services are delivered in a manner consistent with the values of Man With Van Millhill.

Reporting, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We provide secure reporting channels so that workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports are reviewed seriously and handled confidentially wherever possible. No individual will suffer retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. Any allegation is assessed promptly, and appropriate action is taken, which may include escalation, investigation, and cooperation with relevant authorities if needed.

Training and awareness also support our prevention efforts. We aim to ensure that decision-makers understand how modern slavery can appear in business operations and supply chains. This includes awareness of hidden labour risks, indirect subcontracting, and the importance of verifying workforce legitimacy. By improving understanding, Man With Van Millhill strengthens its ability to identify and respond to potential abuse.

This statement is subject to an annual review to confirm that it remains effective, current, and aligned with our business activities. Each review considers any incidents, supplier findings, regulatory developments, and opportunities for improvement. Where necessary, we update our controls, strengthen supplier oversight, and refine reporting procedures. Through ongoing review and action, Man With Van Millhill remains committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms and to operating responsibly across its business relationships.
