Modern Slavery Statement for Pimlico Movers
Pimlico Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries, including transport, logistics, warehousing, and outsourced services, and we take our responsibility seriously.
Our approach is based on a clear zero-tolerance policy. No individual or organisation working with Pimlico Movers is permitted to engage in, facilitate, or ignore modern slavery practices. This applies to direct employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers. Any breach of this principle may result in the immediate termination of a working relationship and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities. We expect every person associated with Pimlico Movers to uphold the same standards.
We embed these expectations through recruitment checks, employment verification, and internal oversight. Our teams are trained to identify indicators of exploitation, such as withholding of wages, restricted movement, excessive working hours, or document retention. Pimlico Movers’ anti-slavery controls are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain practical and effective across different business activities.
Supplier management is a key part of our commitment. We carry out supplier audits and due diligence checks to assess labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance with ethical standards. Where risk is identified, we request corrective action plans, increase monitoring, or end the relationship if the concerns are not resolved. We also require suppliers to confirm that they share our position on preventing modern slavery and that they will apply equivalent controls within their own supply chains.
The company uses a risk-based approach, focusing greater scrutiny on services and locations where vulnerability may be higher. This includes checking documentation, reviewing onboarding processes, and assessing the use of labour agencies or third-party contractors. By maintaining oversight of the Pimlico Movers supply chain, we aim to reduce the chance that exploitation could enter our operations indirectly.
Reporting concerns is essential to an effective anti-slavery programme. Pimlico Movers provides internal reporting channels so workers and managers can raise suspicions confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports are handled seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary. Confidentiality is respected throughout the process, and anyone making a genuine report is protected from victimisation.
We also promote awareness through training and managerial accountability. Supervisors are expected to recognise warning signs, challenge unsafe practices, and reinforce our standards during day-to-day operations. This helps ensure that our modern slavery controls are not only documented but actively applied. The effectiveness of the Pimlico Movers modern slavery policy depends on consistent action at every level of the business.
Our commitment extends beyond our own workforce. We review subcontractor arrangements, procurement decisions, and supplier behaviour to ensure that business growth never comes at the expense of human dignity. Where appropriate, we strengthen contractual terms to reflect our expectations and to require cooperation with audits, inspections, and investigations related to labour practices.
This statement is subject to an annual review to confirm that it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and operational changes. Each review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any new risks identified during the year. Pimlico Movers is committed to continuous improvement and to taking further steps whenever needed to prevent modern slavery in any part of our business.
