Modern Slavery

We have committed to having a clear and transparent company policy, reviewed regularly, and posted on our website, setting out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and the effectiveness of those measures.

The Board of M Large Tree Services Ltd has approved this Policy, will monitor its effectiveness and review it on a regular basis.
