Modern Slavery Statement.

This statement is made on behalf of Over & Above Aerial, a trading name of Blood Orange Ltd, in line with the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Although our annual turnover sits below the statutory £36 million threshold for mandatory reporting, we publish this statement as a matter of professional standard. Our clients, principally Tier 1 main contractors and residential developers, require their supply chain to maintain documented modern slavery controls regardless of statutory obligation.

1. Our organisation

Over & Above Aerial is the construction-content division of Blood Orange Ltd. We provide two services. Quarterly buyer update films for residential developers. Monthly aerial drone monitoring for contractors and construction directors. We operate across London and the South East of England.

The operating company employs a small permanent team and engages freelance specialists on a project basis. All permanent staff and regular freelancers are based in the United Kingdom. The company is owned and directed by Sam Hendrick, who carries final accountability for this policy.

2. Our supply chain

Our supply chain is small, professional, and almost entirely UK-based. The principal categories of suppliers are:

• Subcontract camera operators, drone pilots, and second-unit crew engaged on a freelance basis for individual shoots.
• Equipment hire providers (camera, drone, lighting, grip).
• Post-production freelancers (editors, colourists, sound designers, motion graphics specialists).
• Cloud and software vendors (file storage, project management, review tools).
• Office and operational suppliers (insurance, accountancy, legal, transport).

Construction-site work is carried out under the principal contractor's health and safety regime. Where Over & Above acts as a supplier to a principal contractor, we accept and operate under that contractor's modern slavery requirements in addition to our own.

3. Policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking

We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. This applies to all employees, freelancers, subcontractors and suppliers.

We pay all permanent staff above the Real Living Wage. All freelancers are engaged on written terms with clearly stated day rates that meet or exceed industry-standard professional rates for their discipline. We do not engage workers through informal labour brokers, unverified agencies, or third parties whose own labour standards we cannot confirm.

We do not retain identity documents from any worker as a condition of engagement. We do not require workers to incur costs in order to be engaged. We do not place restrictions on freedom of movement or on workers' contact with family members, advocates or authorities.

4. Due diligence

Our due diligence sits across three areas.

Onboarding. Every freelancer engaged for the first time provides proof of right to work in the UK, evidence of self-employment status (UTR or limited company registration), and confirmation of professional qualifications relevant to the engagement. We do not engage freelancers who cannot provide right to work documentation.

Equipment hire. We use established UK hire houses with published terms of trade and verifiable corporate registration. We do not source equipment through informal channels or from suppliers whose ownership and labour practices we cannot confirm.

Post-production. Our post-production freelancers are known to us across multiple engagements. New post-production suppliers are taken on through professional referral, with the same right-to-work and engagement-status checks as on-set crew.

5. Training and awareness

Sam, as the responsible director, has completed modern slavery awareness training appropriate to the scale of the business. The permanent team receives a written briefing on modern slavery indicators and reporting routes at induction and annually thereafter.

On construction sites, our crew operate under the principal contractor's induction process, which typically includes modern slavery awareness as part of the site induction. We respect and support that process.

6. Reporting concerns

Any worker, supplier or member of the public with a concern about modern slavery in any part of our operation may raise it directly with Sam Hendrick at sam@overaboveaerial.com or by phone on 0207 458 4997. Concerns may also be reported anonymously through the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700.

We do not penalise or retaliate against any worker or supplier who raises a concern in good faith.

7. Measuring effectiveness

We measure the effectiveness of this policy by:

• The proportion of freelancer engagements with complete onboarding documentation. Target: 100 percent.
• The number of modern slavery concerns reported and the time taken to investigate. Target: all concerns acknowledged within 24 hours and investigated to conclusion within 14 days.
• Annual review of supplier list against the categories above. Target: complete review by 30 April each year.

8. Approval

This statement is approved by Sam Hendrick, Director of Blood Orange Ltd, on 14 May 2026. It is reviewed annually and republished on or before the anniversary of approval each year.
