Modern Slavery Statement — Wimbledon Man with Van

Wimbledon Man with Van is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to identifying, managing and reducing risk. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. Our commitment applies to all colleagues, contractors and partners engaged by our Wimbledon moving service and Man with van Wimbledon offerings.

Scope and Commitment

We operate across residential and commercial moves under the Wimbledon man with van brand and related services. Our policy covers permanent employees, temporary agency staff, self-employed drivers and third-party suppliers. We require everyone associated with our operations to act with integrity and to comply with legal and ethical obligations. Any breach of our anti-slavery principles will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of contracts.

We perform risk assessments to identify areas where the Wimbledon removals sector could be vulnerable to exploitation. Our procurement and operations teams review recruitment practices, working hours, wage compliance and contractual arrangements for suppliers and subcontractors. We encourage transparency and expect suppliers to demonstrate how they prevent modern slavery and to remediate issues where they arise.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

As part of our due diligence, Wimbledon Man with Van conducts targeted supplier audits and checks on higher-risk relationships. These audits assess recruitment, payroll, right-to-work documentation and on-site working conditions where applicable. We prioritise suppliers who share our values and who can demonstrate proactive measures to prevent exploitation. Audit findings are recorded, and corrective action plans are tracked until satisfactory closure.

We operate a structured programme of supplier engagement, including:

• Pre-contract checks: verification of labour practices and reputation screening for new suppliers to our Wimbledon moving service;
• Periodic audits: scheduled and risk-based reviews focusing on documentation, pay practices and worker treatment;
• Remediation: contractual requirements for suppliers to address breaches and provide remediation for affected workers;
• Training: mandatory awareness training for procurement and operations staff so they can spot signs of modern slavery across the Man with van Wimbledon network.

Reporting channels are available to all workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and securely. We provide multiple methods to report suspected exploitation, including anonymous mechanisms and escalation paths to senior management. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and, where necessary, referred to appropriate authorities. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and promote an open culture that encourages reporting without fear.

We monitor the effectiveness of our measures through key performance indicators such as audit outcomes, remedial actions completed, training completion rates and reported incidents. Our compliance team reviews these metrics regularly to ensure continuous improvement. Where incidents are identified, we document root causes and revise policies and controls to prevent recurrence.

Our annual review cycle includes a formal evaluation of our modern slavery programme and updates to policies, supplier contracts and training materials. The review involves senior leadership and the board of Wimbledon Man with Van to ensure governance oversight. Results of the review influence resourcing, supplier management priorities and operational changes across our Wimbledon removals operations.

We are committed to maintaining and strengthening these measures as part of our ongoing duty to combat exploitation. This statement is approved by senior management and will be reviewed and published at least once every 12 months. By embedding these standards into our culture, Wimbledon Man with Van and allied Man with van Wimbledon teams aim to play an active role in eradicating modern slavery from our industry.
