Modern Slavery Statement for Brompton Removals

Brompton Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that slavery, forced labour, servitude and exploitation can occur in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines human dignity.

As a professional removals company, we work with a range of suppliers, contractors and service providers. Our responsibility extends beyond our direct employees to include the standards expected of those who support our work. The Brompton Removals approach is founded on ethical sourcing, transparency and continual vigilance. We expect every supplier to share our commitment to lawful and fair treatment of workers.

This statement applies to all areas of our business, including transport, storage, packing materials, subcontracted services and administrative functions. We understand that the risk of modern slavery may be higher in sectors involving manual labour, temporary labour or complex supply chains. For that reason, Brompton Removals maintains clear controls to identify, prevent and address risks wherever they arise.

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in our internal standards and supplier expectations. No employee, contractor or supplier may engage in, support or ignore any form of forced or trafficked labour. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate review, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship. The Brompton Removals statement is reinforced through training, onboarding checks and management oversight to ensure the message is understood at every level.

We conduct supplier audits and due diligence to evaluate the labour practices of the organisations we work with. This includes assessing workforce recruitment methods, employment records, subcontracting arrangements and indications of coercion or unsafe conditions. Where appropriate, we request supporting documents and undertake periodic reviews of higher-risk suppliers. If concerns are identified, we require prompt corrective action and may disengage from the supplier if standards are not met.

To strengthen oversight, we ask suppliers to confirm that they comply with all applicable labour laws and uphold fair working conditions. We also encourage the use of legitimate recruitment practices that prohibit worker-paid fees, document retention or restrictions on freedom of movement. By maintaining these safeguards, Brompton Removals reduces risk and promotes responsible business conduct throughout its removals network.

Reporting concerns is an essential part of preventing abuse. Brompton Removals provides reporting channels that allow employees and others connected to the business to raise concerns about suspected exploitation, unethical recruitment or unsafe labour practices. Reports may be made confidentially and will be treated seriously, with appropriate investigation and escalation where needed. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Awareness is supported through regular communication so that staff understand how to recognise warning signs such as excessive control, withheld wages, poor accommodation, or workers unable to speak freely. Managers are expected to respond quickly and escalate matters without delay. In addition, our procurement and operations teams are trained to consider slavery risks when selecting suppliers and organising work.

We are committed to continually improving our response to modern slavery risks. Our controls are reviewed in light of changes in legislation, industry practice and operational experience. This commitment reflects the responsibility of Brompton Removals to protect workers and uphold ethical standards across every part of the business.

An annual review of this statement is undertaken to assess progress, identify emerging risks and strengthen our prevention measures. The review considers supplier performance, audit findings, incident reports and training activity. Where improvements are needed, action plans are created and monitored by management. This process ensures that the Brompton Removals modern slavery statement remains current, effective and aligned with our values.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, undertaking supplier audits, providing clear reporting channels and completing an annual review, Brompton Removals demonstrates its ongoing commitment to responsible operations. We believe that all workers deserve to be treated with dignity, fairness and respect, and we will continue to take practical steps to help prevent modern slavery in our business and supply chain.
