You have nothing to be concerned about. In fact, when our staff visit China they feel that the conditions at the shutter factory are better than working conditions in the UK! Culturally life in China is different. It is normal working practice for staff to live in facilities at the factory and then return home during national holidays. However the workers are provided with all of their meals, have good accommodation and leisure facilities and are financially paid well above average pay rates, they also receive wages for overtime worked. Finally, B&Q have rigorous procedures to ensure suppliers and partners have working conditions that conform to their exactingly high standards. The California Company passed this process first time.
