Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54, Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The statement provides the measure taken by Liquidline Limited to reduce the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking occurring in its business and supply chain.

As part of the food & beverage sector, Liquidline Limited recognises that it has a responsibility to take a robust approach to reduce the risks of slavery and human trafficking.

Liquidline Limited is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against modern slavery and human trafficking within its operations and supply chains.

This statement is made by Liquidline Limited in respect of its financial year ending 31st December 2025.

Organisational Structure

This statement covers the activities of Liquidline:

Liquidline is a national operating company that provides beverage solutions to multiple sectors across the country. This includes coffee machines, juice machines, water coolers & vending machines. Liquidline will provide both installation and then ongoing maintenance and servicing for the equipment. We also supply the consumables for the machines as well.

Our Supply Chain

Liquidline Limited is committed to seeking to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain or within our business operations.

Our supply chain consists of:

– Coffee beans including the roasting of the coffee beans and other consumable items offered.
– Supply of new coffee machine equipment including vending machines, water coolers and other beverage equipment.
– Indirect goods, services, products and parts purchased from businesses primarily based in the UK and Ireland.

To further Liquidline Limited’s commitment to combat modern slavery and human trafficking we have taken or are in the course of taking the following actions:

– Liquidline is developing a Supplier Handbook and Standards framework which will set out the ethical, compliance and governance expectations of suppliers, including requirements relating to modern slavery and human trafficking.
– We recognise that certain areas of our supply chain may present a higher risk of modern slavery, particularly within agricultural products such as coffee and in the manufacture of equipment sourced internationally. Our risk assessment process will consider geographical location, industry sector, labour intensity and supplier transparency.
– In addition, a supplier business review process will be implemented where appropriate for high-risk suppliers to ensure continued compliance.

Our policies

Liquidline Limited is committed to ensuring transparency within the business and within its supply chain to make sure that it is consistent with our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Our written policies work alongside our core values (Passionate, Thoughtfulness, Responsiveness, Innovation & Smart-Working), aligning our goals to act ethically and with integrity in all our business and supply chain relationships.

Due Diligence Processes

Liquidline Limited considers that, on the whole, the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business is low, based on our business model combined with our clear policies and values.

Liquidline Limited operates within various sectors supplying beverage equipment, consumables along with servicing of the equipment as well. During 2026, Liquidline is strengthening its supplier due diligence processes through the introduction of a structured supplier onboarding and risk management framework. This will include supplier questionnaires, review of relevant policies and statements, risk assessment and ongoing supplier governance activities.

Our efforts are focused on those areas of the supply chain considered to present a higher inherent risk due to factors such as supply chain complexity, geographical reach, labour intensity and limited supply chain visibility.

Liquidline Limited comply with all the applicable legal obligations regarding employees, including pay, working hours and general wellbeing of our employees. We operate a Whistleblowing Policy aimed principally at our employees, and also available to others working in our supply chains, which encourages staff to report and raise any concerns regarding human rights violations such as modern slavery to our People and Culture Director. Any such reports will be fully investigated, and appropriate remedial actions taken.

Training

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, Liquidline Limited ensures that, through our induction, training and ongoing communication, all of our colleagues are aware of the company’s commitment to tackling labour exploitation.

Resourcing

1. Agency Use: We ensure that any agencies we work with have a current Modern Slavery Statement in place.
2. Right to Work: All staff are required to present an original right to work documentation on their first day. Copies are taken and retained in line with legal requirements.
