Modern Slavery Statement for Mayfair Storage

Mayfair Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and business partners, and reflects our zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation in any form.

As a responsible storage provider, Mayfair Storage’s reputation depends on ethical conduct across every part of the business. We recognise that risks can exist in facilities management, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, procurement, and outsourced services. To address these risks, we maintain clear standards for recruitment, onboarding, pay practices, and working conditions. We also expect suppliers to uphold the same commitment to lawful and fair treatment of workers.

Our Mayfair Storage modern slavery statement is supported by internal controls designed to identify and reduce risk. These include due diligence checks on new suppliers, contract clauses requiring compliance with labour laws, and periodic assessment of higher-risk categories. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of work, or termination of a business relationship.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and expect every person working for or with Mayfair Storage to share this standard. Managers are responsible for promoting ethical practices and ensuring workers are treated fairly and with dignity. Training is provided to help staff recognise warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, withheld documents, excessive deductions, or signs of coercion. This supports a culture of vigilance throughout the organisation.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our commitment. Supplier audits are conducted using a risk-based approach, with greater scrutiny applied to sectors, geographies, or service providers where vulnerability may be higher. Audits may include document reviews, site visits, worker interviews, and verification of subcontracting arrangements. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate records, cooperate fully with inspections, and demonstrate continuous improvement where any weakness is identified.

In addition to formal audits, Mayfair Storage seeks to build long-term relationships with suppliers that value ethical employment practices. We communicate our expectations through onboarding materials, written agreements, and periodic reviews. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we will work with them to improve or, where necessary, end the relationship. This balanced approach helps us protect people while maintaining a reliable and responsible supply chain.

Reporting, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees and third parties may report suspected issues through internal management routes, HR, or designated compliance procedures. Reports are handled sensitively, and retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited. All allegations are assessed promptly, documented carefully, and escalated where required.

Our response framework ensures that any suspected case of exploitation is taken seriously. Depending on the circumstances, Mayfair Storage may conduct interviews, request supporting evidence, involve external specialists, or notify appropriate authorities. We aim to protect potential victims, preserve evidence, and address root causes. This includes reviewing procurement decisions, supplier performance, and internal processes to reduce the chance of recurrence.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in our supply chain, and any emerging modern slavery risks. Through this process, Mayfair Storage strengthens accountability, improves safeguards, and reaffirms its commitment to ethical business conduct. Our goal is to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chain.
