Modern Slavery Statement

Placeholder statement — to be reviewed and approved by Freight Talent before launch. Confirm the legal entity and update the review date each year.

Our commitment

Freight Talent (a trading name of Maine Couriers Ltd) is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our recruitment activity, and to ensuring there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains. We have zero tolerance for slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking, as defined by the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Our business

We are a specialist permanent recruitment agency for the logistics, transport, warehousing and supply chain sector. We introduce candidates to client employers for direct permanent engagement; we do not supply temporary or agency labour.

Our policies and due diligence

• We verify the identity and right to work of every candidate we represent, and are alert to the signs of labour exploitation and coercion.
• We seek to work only with reputable client employers and reputable suppliers, and reserve the right to decline to work with any party where we have concerns about labour practices.
• We never charge work-finding fees to candidates.
• Our team is briefed to recognise and report any indicators of modern slavery, and any concern can be raised in confidence with management.

Legal context

Under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, a formal slavery and human trafficking statement is mandatory only for commercial organisations with an annual turnover of £36 million or more. As a smaller business we publish this statement voluntarily, because the commitment matters to us and to the candidates and clients we work with.
