Modern Slavery Statement

To deliver our contracted activities, we employ in-house and agency workers and engage with sub-contractors and suppliers.

We operate a robust recruitment policy including conducting eligibility to work in the UK for all employees. All our employees are paid by bank transfer, and we don't allow payment to be made into third party bank accounts. We use reputable employment agencies, who must adhere to the Agency Workers Regulations 2010, to source any agency workers.

During the fiscal year covered by this statement, we have undertaken an assessment of our agency worker suppliers and hold on file signed documents of undertaking confirming that all agency workers supplied to our Company have been vetted and hold the appropriate Right to Work documentation.

Our supply chain is predominantly led by long-standing relationships with UK suppliers and sub-contractors. We continually assess the working practices of our main material suppliers and trade package sub-contractors. These assessments involve review of working premises and working conditions. We occasionally contract with clientled overseas suppliers for bespoke materials.

Our potential high-risk areas: We consider the following areas to be at higher risk of modern slavery.

• The supply of materials which may be produced in jurisdiction or by organisations that are not compliant with such legislation; and

• The potential use of sub-contractors by our contracted sub-contractors, who may be non-compliant with Modern Slavery Act. We are committed to reduce the above potential risk areas by undertaking stringent pre-qualification when dealing with all new material suppliers and sub-contractors and reassessing existing supplier relationships through procurement processes.

We understand that the risks of modern slavery are not static. We continue to assess our risk areas. We will continue to mitigate our exposure to modern slavery by training our staff and monitoring our supply chain.

• Policies: The Human Resources Manager is responsible for creating and reviewing policies. The process by which policies are developed is by looking at prevailing legislation and best practice and adapting to the needs of the Company;
