This statement is made pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that The Group has taken and is continuing to take, to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. The Group has a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.
Our Business
The Group operates from two sites in Winsford and Manchester. We deal with a mixture of small local businesses along with larger national business in the UK only.
Our Policies
We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner and in line with current legislation. These include:
Our Suppliers
Our supply chain is limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK suppliers only. We conduct due diligence checks before trading with new suppliers.
Training
We regularly conduct training for our procurement/buying teams so that they understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain.
