Our business

The FOW Group operates from two locations in Winsford, Cheshire and Trafford, Manchester.

We deal with a mixture of small local businesses, along with larger national businesses in the UK only.

Our policies

We operate several internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner and in line with current legislation. These include:

Anti slavery policy - This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify instances of this and where they can go for help.

Recruitment policy - We operate a robust recruitment policy including conducting eligibility to work in the UK, checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.

Whistleblowing policy - We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how their colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear or reprisals.

Our suppliers

Training

We conduct regular training for our procurement and 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.
