We recognise that forced labour & human trafficking remain a blight on global society. This Anti Slavery Notice sets out the steps we’ve taken to ensure it has no part in our business.
Of course, part of our action includes understanding the risks of modern slavery. And identifying how it can enter into our supply chain and procurement. To combat this risk we have established company policies and controls. So that we can prevent it in the first place & act promptly if any concerns arise.
On this webpage you will find details of our commitment, steps & actions. Or you can use the button below to download & save our Modern Day Slavery Policy Statement.

- Vet and investigate all new trade partners.
- Analyse supplier reputation and suitability.

Review & Actions
To ensure our policy remains suitable, it is reviewed regularly by our company directors. In addition, annual audits are completed by our managers or safety advisors. And all relevant staff members are trained on its controls and requirements.
Similarly, we use Key Performance Indicators to measure how effective it is. Which includes checking our levels of communication with suppliers & partners.
