Weybourne Limited

Weybourne is a UK business that provides professional services to other companies in the Group and related parties. Although its turnover falls below the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015’s threshold for mandatory reporting, Weybourne is clear that forced labour in any form is unacceptable and works to a code of conduct which sets out requirements in relation to ethical practices and health and safety.

Dyson Farming

Dyson Farming is a UK business, organised around three key operations: farming, property and energy production. Though its turnover falls below the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015’s threshold for mandatory reporting, Dyson Farming has voluntarily prepared a Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement. It can be found on the Dyson Farming website. (Here).

Other parts of the group

Apart from Dyson, Dyson Farming and Weybourne, no other member of the Group supplies goods or services and therefore no other member of the Group falls under the scope of The Transparency in Supply Chains provision in the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.

This statement was approved by the Board of directors of Weybourne Holdings at its meeting on 22 March 2023.
