Mayfair Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Mayfair Skip Hire confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of its operations or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, including our zero-tolerance policy, supplier due diligence, reporting channels and ongoing review processes. We are committed to continuous improvement and transparency in how we manage modern slavery risks across our business and partners.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers working with Mayfair Skip Hire. We define modern slavery broadly to include forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. The scope of this anti-slavery statement covers our skip hire services, vehicle operations, subcontracted labour and material handling supply chains. We require all suppliers to commit to the same standards and to cooperate with verification and audit activities.

Zero-tolerance policy: we operate a strict no-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Any evidence or credible allegation that a person is being subjected to exploitation, coercion or inhumane working conditions will trigger immediate investigation and appropriate action, which may include contract termination, referral to law enforcement and remedial support for affected workers. Our internal disciplinary processes and contractual terms reflect this strong stance against slavery and trafficking.

We conduct regular supply chain audits and due diligence to identify and mitigate risks of exploitation. Our procurement team uses risk-based screening and performance monitoring, focusing on areas with higher vulnerability such as manual handling, site labour and subcontracted transport services. Where suppliers are assessed as high risk, we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits until standards are met.

Supplier audits include document reviews, site visits and worker interviews where practical. We prioritise transparency and engagement, working collaboratively with suppliers to build capacity and improve labour standards. All new suppliers must declare compliance with our modern slavery and human trafficking expectations, and existing suppliers are periodically re-assessed. This process forms part of our wider responsible sourcing and ethical procurement framework.

Training forms a key part of our preventive controls. Staff in procurement, operations and site management receive targeted training to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand referral procedures. We require managers to actively monitor working conditions and to escalate any concerns promptly. Our approach blends proactive risk management with clear remedial pathways for any breaches identified.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We maintain multiple, confidential reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspicions through internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines and through authorised escalation routes. Reports will be treated seriously, with assurances against retaliation and with support offered to affected individuals where appropriate.

Annual review and continuous improvement

We undertake an annual review of our modern slavery risk management, supplier audit outcomes and training effectiveness. The results of this review inform updates to policy, enhanced supplier requirements and targeted interventions where risks persist. Our board and senior management receive regular summaries of performance and significant incidents, ensuring governance oversight and accountability.

In closing, Mayfair Skip Hire reiterates its commitment to combatting modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to develop our anti-slavery statement, strengthen supplier relationships, improve audit coverage and maintain clear reporting channels. Through diligent monitoring, rigorous audits and a firm zero-tolerance stance, we aim to ensure our operations and supply chains remain free from exploitation and that our workforce and partners are treated with dignity and respect.
