Modern Slavery Statement for Pimlico Removals

Pimlico Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the removal and logistics sector can involve multiple labour providers, subcontractors, and temporary workers, which is why we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity or freedom.

Our commitment is supported by clear internal standards. Every employee, contractor, and manager is expected to act ethically, follow relevant laws, and report concerns without delay. We believe that prevention depends on awareness, accountability, and action. For that reason, Pimlico Removals regularly reviews recruitment practices, working conditions, and employment records to reduce the risk of exploitation at every stage of service delivery.

We also expect our business partners to uphold the same principles. Any supplier, agent, or subcontractor working with Pimlico Removals must comply with our ethical expectations and provide evidence of lawful labour practices. If concerns arise, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate steps, including corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship where necessary.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits

We assess modern slavery risks based on the type of work, geographic exposure, use of agency labour, and the length of supply chains. Particular attention is given to services involving warehousing, transport support, cleaning, and temporary staffing, where hidden labour risks may be higher. Our objective is not only compliance, but active prevention through modern slavery controls that are practical and measurable.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our programme. Before onboarding new partners, we seek confirmation of labour compliance, business ownership details, and workforce management processes. In addition, supplier audits may be carried out to review payroll records, right-to-work checks, subcontracting arrangements, and worker treatment. These audits may be announced or unannounced, depending on the risk level and circumstances.

If an audit identifies a potential issue, we require a corrective action plan with deadlines and evidence of progress. Persistent failure to meet our standards will result in a review of the commercial relationship. We also reserve the right to reassess suppliers periodically, even where no immediate concerns have been identified, because vigilance is essential to a credible modern slavery policy.

Reporting, Training, and Accountability

We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised early and without fear. Workers and managers are informed of the signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld wages, coercion, intimidation, and unreasonable working hours. Any suspicion of abuse is treated seriously, and all reports are investigated in line with our internal procedures.

Our reporting channels are designed to support confidentiality and prompt escalation. Concerns may be raised through line management, senior leadership, or designated safeguarding processes. Reports can be made anonymously where permitted, and no individual will suffer retaliation for speaking up in good faith. This protection applies equally to employees, agency staff, and supply chain workers.

Training is provided to relevant personnel so they can identify warning signs and respond appropriately. Managers involved in recruitment, supplier selection, and contract oversight receive additional guidance on high-risk indicators. Through this approach, Pimlico Removals aims to embed responsibility across the business rather than treating modern slavery as a stand-alone compliance exercise.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective and aligned with legal requirements, operational changes, and emerging risks. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, training completion, supplier performance, and any incidents or near misses that may indicate a weakness in controls. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures accordingly.

Pimlico Removals is committed to continuous improvement and responsible business conduct. We understand that combating modern slavery requires ongoing diligence, transparent management, and cooperation with suppliers who share our values. Our aim is to create a working environment and supply chain that are lawful, fair, and resilient against exploitation.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, strengthening supplier audits, supporting safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we reinforce our determination to prevent abuse in all forms. This statement reflects our current practices and our commitment to strengthening them over time as part of our wider ethical responsibilities.
