  • We are committed to acting fairly, honestly, and openly in all business dealings.

  • We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and partners.

4. Supply Chains

We aim to work only with trusted suppliers who share our values. We take steps to:

  • Assess potential risks in our supply chain.

  • Terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our standards.

5. Employee Responsibility

  • All staff are expected to report any concerns related to modern slavery within the business or supply chain.

  • We encourage openness and support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith.

  • We provide awareness to staff about the risks of modern slavery in the food and catering industry.

  • We review supplier contracts to ensure they include obligations to comply with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.

  • We keep communication open with suppliers about ethical practices.

7. Training & Awareness

While we are a small company, we recognise the importance of training. All employees will be made aware of the signs of modern slavery and encouraged to report concerns.
