Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

Pimlico Man and Van is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery in our own operations and throughout our supply chains.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Pimlico Man and Van provides man and van, removals, and related logistics services. Our operations rely on vehicle suppliers, fuel providers, equipment providers, facilities management, and a range of professional and support services. We recognise that modern slavery can occur at any point in a supply chain and we are committed to working only with organisations that share our values and standards.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We operate a clear and strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This applies to all individuals working directly for Pimlico Man and Van, as well as to contractors, agency workers, consultants, and any third parties who supply goods or services to our business.

We expect all those we work with to uphold the same high standards and to actively prevent any form of exploitation. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of contracts or working relationships, and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Our supplier approval process includes an assessment of labour practices and ethical standards. We seek to work with reputable suppliers who can demonstrate their own commitment to preventing modern slavery, including through internal policies, staff training, and transparent sourcing practices.

Where appropriate and proportionate to risk, we conduct supplier audits and request information about workforce conditions, recruitment processes, use of subcontractors, and measures to prevent forced or compulsory labour. If concerns arise, we engage with the supplier to address and remediate issues. If satisfactory improvements are not made, we reserve the right to suspend or end the business relationship.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management. Training includes guidance on identifying signs of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance policy, and using the appropriate channels to report concerns. We promote a culture where ethical conduct is expected and supported at all levels of the business.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

All workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our operations or supply chains. Concerns may relate to working conditions, recruitment practices, withholding of documents or wages, or any indication that an individual is being controlled or exploited.

Reports can be made confidentially through our internal reporting channels, including direct reporting to line managers or senior management. We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith from victimisation or retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed appropriately.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Pimlico Man and Van recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires vigilance and continual improvement. We regularly review our policies, due diligence processes, and supplier engagement to strengthen our approach and respond to emerging risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the senior management team to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our supplier audits, training initiatives, and reporting mechanisms, and we update our actions where necessary.

Approval of this Statement

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Pimlico Man and Van, who are responsible for ensuring that it is implemented and communicated across the business and, where appropriate, to our suppliers and partners. We remain committed to working proactively to prevent modern slavery in all its forms and to promoting fair and ethical treatment for everyone connected to our operations.
