Pimlico Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Pimlico Removals in relation to the financial year ending 31 December. It sets out the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Pimlico Removals is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for the rights and dignity of every person.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Pimlico Removals is a removals and relocation business providing residential and commercial moving services, storage solutions, and associated logistics. Our operations rely on a range of suppliers, including vehicle and equipment providers, packaging and materials suppliers, facilities and property services, and labour agencies. We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking can occur in any sector and at any level of the supply chain, and we are determined to minimise these risks and act promptly where concerns arise.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Pimlico Removals has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, or exploitation in any part of our business or supply chains. This commitment applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. Our expectation is that all parties who work with or for us share our values and uphold the same high standards in their own organisations and supply networks.

All managers are responsible for promoting this policy and ensuring that the principles of fairness, respect, and lawful employment are embedded in everyday decision-making and practices.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers who uphold ethical and legal labour practices. Prior to onboarding key suppliers, Pimlico Removals assesses their approach to labour standards and modern slavery risks. We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence of compliance, such as workforce policies, recruitment procedures, and training records.

Where higher-risk activities or geographies are identified, we may increase the level of scrutiny, including on-site visits and more frequent reviews. If a supplier fails to meet our standards or refuses to cooperate with reasonable audit requests, we will review, suspend, or terminate the relationship as appropriate.

Due Diligence and Risk Management

Pimlico Removals is working to integrate modern slavery considerations into our broader risk management and procurement processes. This includes identifying potential risk factors such as use of temporary labour, subcontracting practices, and reliance on third-party labour providers. We seek to ensure that recruitment and employment practices within our direct operations are transparent, voluntary, and compliant with all relevant laws on working hours, wages, and conditions.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

We encourage an open culture where concerns about modern slavery, exploitation, or unethical behaviour can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, workers, and external parties are encouraged to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking through our internal reporting routes or by raising the issue directly with management.

All reports will be taken seriously, treated as confidential as far as reasonably possible, and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and other competent authorities. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Training and Awareness

To support the effective implementation of this statement, Pimlico Removals provides information and guidance to relevant staff, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. This training helps our teams to recognise signs of modern slavery, understand our zero-tolerance stance, and know how to respond if they have concerns.

Monitoring, Accountability and Annual Review

Pimlico Removals recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to assess the effectiveness of our actions and identify opportunities for improvement. The review will consider feedback from audits, reports of concerns, changes in legislation, and developments in best practice.

Senior management is accountable for ensuring that this statement is implemented and that adequate resources are allocated to support our efforts. We will update and republish this statement each year, outlining the steps we have taken and the progress we have made in addressing modern slavery within our business and supply chains.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Pimlico Removals and represents our continued commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships.
