Pimlico Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Pimlico Removals to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to act ethically in all areas of our removals, storage, and related services.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Pimlico Removals has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that upholds the dignity, safety, and wellbeing of every individual who works for or with us.

This commitment applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers, regardless of location or role. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Pimlico Removals provides residential and commercial removals, packing, and storage services. Our supply chain includes transport providers, packaging suppliers, storage facilities, equipment providers, and other service partners that help us deliver our services to customers.

We recognise that some areas of our supply chain may carry a higher risk of modern slavery, particularly where lower-skilled or temporary labour is used. We work to identify and manage these risks through a structured and ongoing due diligence process.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. Pimlico Removals requires suppliers to comply with all relevant labour, employment, and human rights laws. We clearly communicate our zero-tolerance stance and our expectations on ethical conduct and fair treatment of workers.

As part of our supplier management, we carry out risk-based assessments and audits. These may include reviewing supplier policies, requesting evidence of labour standards compliance, and conducting on-site visits where appropriate. Where potential concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe.

If a supplier fails to address serious concerns or is found to be involved in modern slavery or human trafficking, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Pimlico Removals encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking, whether within our business or anywhere in our supply chain. We are committed to creating an environment where individuals feel safe to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

Concerns can be reported to management or through existing internal reporting channels. Reports will be handled sensitively, treated confidentially as far as possible, and investigated promptly and impartially. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement and other relevant bodies.

No one who raises a concern in good faith will suffer any form of detrimental treatment for doing so.

Training and Awareness

We provide guidance to relevant staff on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding the steps to take if they have concerns. Managers and employees involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment receive additional information on our modern slavery policy and due diligence processes.

We aim to build awareness across the business so that modern slavery risks are identified early and addressed effectively.

Monitoring and Annual Review

Pimlico Removals is committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. We monitor our procedures and the effectiveness of our controls on an ongoing basis.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every twelve months to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and in line with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the annual review, we consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in our operations or supply chains, and feedback from stakeholders.

Following each review, we may update our policies, strengthen due diligence measures, enhance training, or adjust our supplier engagement activities to better prevent and address modern slavery risks.

This Statement has been approved by the leadership of Pimlico Removals and represents our public commitment to act with integrity and transparency in all our business dealings.
