Ethical Trading Policy.
We are guided in the way we run our business by a strong ethical sense and we give a fair deal to all of the companies we work with. In our overseas factories there is absolutely no child labour and everyone has a safe working environment. All staff are paid regularly and above the minimum wage requirement and are able to be a member of any trade association or union they choose. Regular audits ensure that our policy is adhered to.
