Belgravia Man with Van — Modern Slavery Statement

Belgravia Man & Van is committed to conducting business with integrity and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our position and the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation will not be tolerated by the Belgravia man-with-van team, contractors or suppliers.

Two movers wearing blue uniforms are lifting a large white shelving unit with multiple square compartments inside a bright, residential room. The room features a wooden floor and white walls, with a set of multi-coloured striped curtains on large windows in the background. To the left on the floor, there is a long, low black and white heater or radiator. The shelving unit appears to be lightweight, possibly made of painted wood or composite material, and is being carefully carried between the two men, who are positioned on opposite sides to facilitate lifting. The scene suggests a house removal process, with the movers preparing to transport the furniture piece through an interior residential space in a town within the UK, possibly referencing the local context of Belgravia or nearby areas. The natural daylight coming through the windows illuminates the scene, highlighting the neutral and professional atmosphere typical of house removals services such as Belgravia Man with Van, operating within the London area or surrounding postcode regions. We recognise that the moving and removals sector can be vulnerable to risks of exploitation, particularly where temporary labour and subcontracting are used. To manage these risks we maintain due diligence processes, maintain records of our recruitment and engagement practices, and require that all partners and subcontractors adhere to our standards. Our statement applies to Belgravia removals, partner carriers, and any third parties engaged to support our services.

Policy Framework and Zero-Tolerance Approach

A family of four loading cardboard boxes into the rear of a parked moving van on a residential street near a white house with a porch, in an outdoor setting with clear weather and natural daylight. The father, with short brown hair, is smiling and leaning on the van, while the mother, with dark hair tied back, is holding a large cardboard box. Their two children, a girl with blonde hair on the left and a boy with blonde hair in the middle, are also holding boxes. The house features a white exterior with a small tree and a lawn visible in the background, indicating a suburban location. The scene depicts a house removal process, with household items being carefully packed for a move, and the family dressed casually for the activity. The van's open side door reveals a partially visible interior containing packing materials, consistent with professional removal services like Belgravia Man with Van, serving the local area near the postcode for Belgravia in central London. Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in company policy documents and training. All colleagues, from management to drivers, receive briefing on human rights expectations and reporting obligations. We require that employment is freely chosen, wages are paid fairly and on time, and that working hours and conditions meet legal standards. Any breach of this policy may lead to termination of contracts or referral to authorities.

We carry out risk assessments for our operations and supply chain, identifying high-risk geographies and service categories. The Belgravia Man with Van procurement team integrates anti-slavery clauses into contracts and supplier codes of conduct and monitors compliance through targeted checks and supplier self-assessments.

To strengthen controls we operate a programme of supplier audits and verification. These supplier audits focus on recruitment practices, payroll evidence, right-to-work checks, and health and safety standards. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits until we are satisfied that unacceptable practices have been remediated.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously through our internal reporting process and are treated seriously; all allegations are investigated promptly and fairly. The company ensures protection against retaliation for whistleblowers and supports affected individuals with remedial measures where appropriate.

A photograph showing a smiling young woman with dark hair tied back, wearing a yellow hoodie and blue jeans, sitting beside a young man with short brown hair, wearing a green and navy striped polo shirt and grey trousers, in a residential area filled with moving boxes and household items. In the background, there is a partially assembled wooden shelving unit, a white plastic chair, a rolled-up beige rug, and a wicker basket. The boxes are of various sizes and materials, including cardboard, and some are stacked on top of each other. A large cardboard box with a smaller beige box on top is prominent behind the duo, along with a white container or lampshade on the top. They appear to be engaged in a friendly conversation while sitting on a raised surface, possibly the steps of a property, which suggests they are either moving into or out of a house in or near Belgravia or a similar London neighbourhood. The scene captures a moment of packing or unpacking in preparation for a house relocation, reflecting professional removals services. The lighting is natural and daylight, highlighting the textures of the boxes and household items, with a neutral background of wooden scaffolding or temporary structure surrounding the residential area. Our approach to remediation includes working collaboratively with affected workers, suppliers and, where needed, external agencies to restore rights, recover lost wages, and prevent recurrence. We document our investigations and outcomes to ensure accountability and continual learning across the business.

Four individuals sitting on a light wooden floor in a spacious, well-lit room, surrounded by stacked cardboard boxes of various sizes, with some boxes placed on the floor and others stacked against the wall. The group, consisting of two men and two women, appear relaxed and are smiling at the camera. The man on the left wears a light blue shirt and beige trousers, while the man next to him is dressed in a grey T-shirt and dark trousers. The woman in the middle has blonde hair, is wearing a white top and dark jeans, and the woman on the far right has short blonde hair, wearing a white sleeveless top and dark jeans. The background is plain white with no visible furniture or other objects, suggesting a typical residential setting prepared for a house move, consistent with a professional removals service such as Belgravia Man with Van, servicing areas including central London and the postcode area around SW1. The scene captures the process of packing or unpacking during a house relocation, emphasizing the household items being handled with care before transfer. Governance of the statement is maintained by senior management with oversight from the board. We report annually on progress, outcomes of supplier audits, incidents investigated and remedial actions taken. The statement aligns with relevant legal requirements and international standards on forced labour and trafficking.

Key elements of our action plan include:

  • Regular supplier audits and targeted spot checks to reinforce compliance;
  • Mandatory training for staff and service partners on recognising and reporting modern slavery;
  • Clear contractual requirements and strong due diligence before onboarding partners;
  • Confidential reporting channels and a non-retaliation policy;
  • Remediation and support mechanisms for any individuals found to be affected.

Belgravia man-and-van services will continue to prioritise transparency and continuous improvement. We require that suppliers provide evidence of their adherence to the anti-slavery policy and accept audits as a condition of ongoing engagement.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. The annual review process assesses policy effectiveness, audit results, training uptake, and incident outcomes to refine controls and resource allocation where necessary. Through sustained vigilance, supplier audits, robust reporting channels, and a firm zero-tolerance stance, Belgravia Man with Van seeks to prevent modern slavery in all forms across our operations and supply chain.
