Modern Slavery Statement for Pimlico Removals
Pimlico Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our own operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting people and maintaining trust in the services we provide.
As a responsible removals company, we expect the highest ethical standards from our employees, contractors, and suppliers. Our policy applies to all aspects of our business, including recruitment, working conditions, subcontracted work, and procurement. We are committed to identifying, preventing, and addressing any risk of exploitation wherever it may arise.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Pimlico Removals maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. No person working with or for our business may use coercion, deception, debt bondage, threats, or withheld wages to control another individual. This applies equally to our internal workforce and to any third parties acting on our behalf. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate suspension or termination of the relationship.
We support fair hiring practices, lawful working hours, and the freedom for workers to leave employment in line with applicable laws. In our operations as a moving services provider, we seek to ensure that all staff are employed voluntarily and are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities. Training and internal guidance help reinforce this standard across the organisation.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We understand that risks can extend beyond our direct activities, so we carry out proportionate due diligence on suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. This includes reviewing employment practices, assessing country and sector risk, and confirming compliance with relevant labour standards. Where necessary, we may request supporting documentation or conduct further checks before entering or renewing a relationship.
Supplier audits form an important part of our approach. These audits may be scheduled or triggered by concern, and they help us assess whether suppliers meet our ethical requirements. If a concern is identified, we expect prompt remedial action. Where remediation is not possible or where a supplier refuses to cooperate, we reserve the right to end the arrangement.
Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns
Everyone connected to Pimlico Removals has a role in helping prevent exploitation. We encourage workers, suppliers, and partners to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical conduct without delay. Concerns may relate to recruitment practices, unpaid labour, restricted movement, intimidation, or any other sign of abuse.
Reports are handled seriously and confidentially. We ensure that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation, and we will investigate matters promptly and appropriately. Where a report indicates potential harm to a person, we will act swiftly to protect those at risk and to cooperate with relevant authorities where required.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This statement and our related controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, proportionate, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, supplier performance, training outcomes, and changes in risk profile.
As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible business conduct, we will continue strengthening our procedures, improving awareness, and refining supplier oversight. Pimlico Removals believes that meaningful action, regular review, and clear accountability are essential to preventing modern slavery and supporting decent work throughout our business relationships.
We reaffirm our commitment to a safe, lawful, and ethical removals and relocation service, and we will continue to monitor our practices to ensure that dignity and human rights remain central to everything we do.
