Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Financial year: 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026

Introduction

This statement sets out the actions One Call International Ltd, trading as Speedy Same Day Courier, takes to understand modern slavery risks in its business and to ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking in our own operations or our supply chains. It is published voluntarily and is reviewed and re-approved every year.

As part of the courier and logistics industry, we recognise our responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking. We are absolutely committed to preventing it in our corporate activities and to ensuring our supply chains are free from it.

Organisational structure and supply chains

Speedy Same Day Courier is owned and operated by One Call International Ltd. Our core business is same day courier and logistics services within the United Kingdom. Our secure network comprises company and owner-operated vehicles with dedicated, vetted drivers.

All owner-operated couriers and employees are vetted through our network supply chain with The Transport Exchange and The Courier Exchange.

Risk assessment

We operate only in the United Kingdom, and every driver is vetted before starting work with us. We do not consider our activities to be at high risk of slavery or human trafficking, but we review this assessment each year.

Relevant policies

Whistleblowing. We encourage all workers, customers and business partners to report any concern about our own activities or our supply chains, including anything that may increase the risk of slavery or human trafficking. Our procedure makes it easy to make a disclosure without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be reported in confidence to [email protected] or on 0330 223 4790.

Employee code of conduct. Our code makes clear the actions and behaviour expected of everyone representing the company. We strive to maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethical behaviour, and of how we manage our supply chain.

Recruitment and agency workers. We source owner-operated couriers through The Transport Exchange and The Courier Exchange, and we verify the practices of any new applicant before accepting their vehicle or services.

Due diligence

We carry out due diligence when taking on new suppliers and drivers, and review existing ones regularly. This includes:

  • mapping our supply chain broadly to assess risks of modern slavery and human trafficking;
  • evaluating the risk of each new owner-operated driver;
  • reviewing all aspects of our supply chain on a regular basis;
  • carrying out supplier audits or assessments;
  • taking steps to improve substandard suppliers’ practices, including advice through The Transport Exchange and The Courier Exchange and, where needed, requiring action plans;
  • using The Transport Exchange and The Courier Exchange databases on vetted drivers to check labour standards and general compliance; and
  • taking action against suppliers that fail to improve or seriously breach our standards, up to and including ending the business relationship.

Performance indicators

We measure our progress by requiring every owner-operated driver and every directly employed driver to complete modern slavery training, which is repeated every year.

Training

All owner-operated and directly employed drivers working in the UK complete modern slavery training each year. It covers:

  • how to assess the risk of slavery and human trafficking in different parts of the business, and the support available;
  • how to identify the signs of slavery and human trafficking; and
  • what steps to take if slavery or human trafficking is suspected, and how to report it.

Approval

This statement was approved by Stuart John Grimes, Director, on behalf of One Call International Ltd, and is reviewed every year.
