Find Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

Find Man and Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps that Find a man and van provider adopts to ensure that our man and van service operates ethically and lawfully. We publish this statement to make clear our values and to demonstrate that we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form.

Our zero-tolerance approach is applied across the organisation. We will not tolerate forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, or any other exploitative practice within our business or among our contractors. This sits at the heart of our procurement and fleet operations, whether providing direct removals or partner-led man-and-van solutions.

We expect all suppliers, subcontractors and partners in the Find Man & Van network to adhere to our standards. To maintain these standards we conduct due diligence and regular supplier audits. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement risk assessment for new suppliers and partners.
• Periodic on-site and remote supplier audits to verify wage practices, working hours and worker documentation.
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and the right to audit.

Find Man and Van undertakes specific audit activities proportionate to risk. Where higher risk is identified — for example in sub-contracting chains for bulky moves — we increase the frequency and depth of checks. Audits may include interviews with workers, review of payroll records, and inspections of working and living conditions where applicable.

Supplier audits are conducted by trained compliance staff and, when necessary, by third-party auditors. We require corrective action plans and monitor implementation. If a partner fails to remedy identified issues, we will suspend or terminate the relationship to protect workers and uphold our standards.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially or anonymously. These channels form a core part of our anti-slavery controls and are set up to ensure that anyone who suspects exploitation can report without fear of retribution.

We promote awareness through regular staff training and communications across our man and van operations. Staff involved in procurement, fleet management and partner liaison receive specific instruction on recognising the signs of modern slavery and on how to escalate concerns internally.

Our reporting mechanisms include multiple routes: internal reporting to designated compliance leads, anonymous reporting options through externally managed hotlines, and escalation to senior management when required. We investigate every report promptly and fairly, with protections in place for whistleblowers.

The board and senior leadership review our anti-slavery measures annually. This annual review assesses the effectiveness of policies, audits, training, and reporting channels, and results in a published action plan where improvements are identified. Our review cycle ensures continuous improvement across the Find man-and-van network.
