Modern Slavery Statement

Pinner Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Pinner Man and Van has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our operations or supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business dealings.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Pinner Man and Van operates a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This commitment applies to every aspect of our business, including our own workforce, agency staff, subcontractors, and suppliers who support our moving and logistics services.

We are committed to working only with parties who share our values and who uphold human rights. Any actual or suspected instance of modern slavery involving our operations or supply chain will be treated with utmost seriousness and may lead to termination of contracts or business relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Pinner Man and Van provides man and van, removals, and related logistics services. Our supply chains include vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, packaging and equipment suppliers, cleaning and facilities services, and occasional subcontracted labour for specialist moves or peak demand.

We recognise that some sectors within logistics and labour provision can be vulnerable to exploitation. We therefore assess our suppliers and subcontractors with particular care, especially where work is low-skilled, temporary, or seasonal.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We expect all suppliers and business partners to operate in full compliance with applicable employment, health and safety, and human rights legislation. We seek to engage partners who can demonstrate robust employment practices, fair pay, and safe working conditions.

As part of our due diligence processes, we seek assurances from new suppliers and subcontractors that they do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in their operations. We reserve the right to request evidence of policies, procedures, and workforce checks relevant to modern slavery prevention.

Supplier Audits and Ongoing Monitoring

Pinner Man and Van conducts proportionate checks on higher-risk suppliers and subcontractors. These checks may include requesting documentation, reviewing workforce arrangements, and discussing recruitment practices. Where concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them within a reasonable timeframe, or we will reconsider the relationship.

We will continue to refine our supplier monitoring processes to ensure they remain effective and appropriate to the scale and nature of our business. Records of supplier assessments and any corrective actions taken will be retained to support ongoing review.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all workers, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to Pinner Man and Van. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through established reporting channels within our organisation.

Reports will always be taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and support any investigation.

Training and Awareness

We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our management team and relevant staff members. This includes helping them recognise indicators of exploitation, understand our reporting procedures, and appreciate their role in maintaining ethical standards throughout the supply chain.

As our business evolves, we will review the need for further training or guidance to ensure that our teams remain informed and vigilant.

Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by the leadership of Pinner Man and Van, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, guidance, or the nature of our operations and supply chains. The review will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, including supplier audits, reporting channels, and staff awareness measures.

Pinner Man and Van is committed to continually improving our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks. Through regular review, open communication, and responsible procurement, we aim to uphold the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights across our business.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Pinner Man and Van and represents our current position and commitments regarding modern slavery and human trafficking.
