Modern Slavery Statement

Last updated: 20 July 2026

This Voluntary Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement explains AJ Sells Ltd's commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. Although we are not legally required to publish a statement under Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we have chosen to do so to demonstrate our commitment to ethical business practices and responsible sourcing.

1. About Us

AJ Sells Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 14827610).

Our registered office is:

 United Kingdom

We oppose slavery and human trafficking in all its forms and are committed to conducting our business ethically, transparently and responsibly.

Although our annual turnover is below the reporting threshold established under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we voluntarily publish this Statement to outline the steps we take to identify, assess and reduce modern slavery risks within our business and supply chains.

2. What is Modern Slavery?

Modern slavery refers to serious forms of exploitation and includes:

  • Human trafficking

  • Forced or compulsory labour

  • Child labour

  • Debt bondage

  • Servitude

  • Slavery and slavery-like practices

  • Deceptive recruitment for labour or services

Warning signs of modern slavery may include excessive working hours, abusive working conditions, isolation, withholding of wages or underpayment.

3. Our Commitment

We are committed to operating our business responsibly and expect the same high ethical standards from our suppliers, contractors and business partners.

Our aim is to identify, reduce and, where possible, eliminate the risk of modern slavery throughout our operations and supply chain.

4. Assessing and Managing Risk

To minimise the risk of modern slavery, we have implemented, or intend to implement, measures including:

  • Investigating any allegations or concerns relating to modern slavery.

  • Working with suppliers to improve transparency and ethical labour practices.

  • Using reputable employment agencies where agency workers are required.

  • Providing staff with guidance and awareness on recognising modern slavery risks.

  • Reviewing and improving our internal processes where necessary.

We periodically review these measures to ensure they remain appropriate and effective.

5. Supplier Due Diligence

We expect all organisations we work with to maintain standards consistent with our commitment to preventing modern slavery.

Where appropriate, before entering into or during supplier relationships, we may:

  • Request assurances regarding compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

  • Seek confirmation that suppliers maintain ethical employment practices.

  • Investigate concerns raised regarding labour practices.

  • Request suppliers cooperate with any investigations relating to suspected modern slavery.

  • Require suppliers to address identified risks within their own supply chains.

6. Measuring Effectiveness

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach through a range of activities, including:

Incident Reporting

Monitoring and investigating any reported concerns relating to modern slavery within our operations or supply chains.

Staff Training

Recording training provided to relevant employees on recognising, preventing and reporting modern slavery risks.

Supplier Engagement

Maintaining records of communications with suppliers regarding ethical sourcing expectations and contractual commitments.

Policy Review

Regularly reviewing this Statement and our internal procedures to reflect legal developments and best practice.

As our business grows, we will continue strengthening our monitoring processes and developing appropriate performance indicators.

Where concerns are identified, we take appropriate corrective action and use findings to improve our systems and procedures.

7. Staff Responsibilities

All employees have a responsibility to help prevent, identify and report suspected modern slavery.

Employees are expected to:

  • Report any concerns regarding suspected modern slavery immediately to management.

  • Raise concerns regarding suppliers or contractors whose practices appear inconsistent with this Statement.

  • Cooperate with any investigations where required.

We encourage open communication and may also obtain anonymous feedback from employees to help identify potential risks.

8. Changes to this Statement
