Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Hollandpark

Man With A Van Hollandpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, and coercive working conditions, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward such abuse.

As a responsible van moving and transport service provider, we understand that our business depends on trusted people, reputable partners, and ethically managed suppliers. Our commitment applies to every stage of service delivery, from vehicle support and materials sourcing to subcontracted work and warehouse-related arrangements. We expect all staff, suppliers, and partners to act lawfully and to uphold the same standards we demand of ourselves.

This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to identify, prevent, and address any risk of modern slavery within the Man With A Van Hollandpark business model. We do not accept any activity that undermines personal dignity, freedom, or safety. Where concerns arise, we will investigate promptly and take proportionate action, including suspension or termination of a relationship if necessary.

Policies, Controls, and Supply Chain Oversight

Our anti-slavery approach is supported by internal policies covering recruitment, right-to-work checks, onboarding, and procurement. We apply due diligence when selecting suppliers and subcontractors, with particular attention to labour standards, worker welfare, and the use of informal or unverified labour. Any arrangement involving third parties must meet our ethical standards before engagement and throughout the relationship.

We carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis to assess compliance with our expectations. These reviews may include document checks, verification of business practices, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily and receive lawful pay and rest conditions. If a supplier is found to be non-compliant, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress carefully. Repeated breaches may lead to removal from our approved supplier list.

Our procurement team is trained to recognise warning signs, such as unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, withheld identity documents, or inconsistent employment records. These indicators are treated seriously, and we work to ensure that our man and van services, logistics support, and related operations are not linked to exploitative labour practices.

Reporting, Escalation, and Accountability

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report concerns without fear of reprisal. Reporting channels are available for suspected modern slavery, unethical recruitment, unsafe working conditions, or any behaviour that appears inconsistent with this statement. Reports may be made confidentially and will be reviewed by designated management personnel. Allegations are assessed promptly, and appropriate action is taken where risks are substantiated.

We foster a culture in which speaking up is supported and protected. Any individual who raises a concern in good faith will be treated respectfully, and retaliation will not be tolerated. We also expect our partners to maintain their own internal reporting systems so that workers can raise issues safely and without obstruction. This commitment strengthens trust across the Holland Park van service network and helps us respond quickly to emerging risks.

Where required, we may work with external specialists, legal advisers, or relevant authorities to ensure concerns are handled properly. Our objective is to protect vulnerable people, improve transparency, and maintain ethical standards across every part of the supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legislation and operational realities. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes in our business relationships or risk exposure. Where improvements are identified, we update policies and strengthen controls accordingly.

Training and awareness are also refreshed each year so that our team remains alert to modern slavery risks and understands how to respond. By embedding responsibility throughout the organisation, Man With A Van Hollandpark reinforces its commitment to ethical practice and lawful conduct in a practical and measurable way.

In summary, this statement reflects our firm resolve to prevent exploitation and protect human rights within the Hollandpark man with a van operation and its wider supply chain. Through zero tolerance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest standards of integrity in all that we do.
