Modern Slavery Statement for Brompton Removals
Brompton Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, 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 throughout our supply chain. We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from all suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
As a removals business, we recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in labour-intensive services, subcontracted work, and procurement of goods and transport support. To address this, Brompton Removals maintains internal procedures designed to identify risk, strengthen oversight, and promote ethical conduct. We regularly review how our workforce is recruited, managed, and supported to ensure that fair treatment remains central to our operations.
Our approach begins with due diligence during onboarding and procurement. We ask suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour laws, ethical employment standards, and anti-slavery expectations. Where appropriate, we request written assurances and evidence of responsible recruitment practices. If concerns are raised, we investigate promptly and may suspend or end the relationship where necessary.
Supplier oversight is a key part of our anti-slavery framework. Brompton Removals conducts supplier audits based on risk, focusing on labour sourcing, subcontracting arrangements, wage practices, and worker welfare. These audits may include document reviews, site assessments, and follow-up checks to confirm that suppliers are operating in line with our standards. We expect corrective action plans where gaps are identified, and we monitor progress until issues are resolved.
We also provide clear internal reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and others can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Any suspicion of modern slavery, coercion, underpayment, withholding of documents, or unsafe working conditions can be reported through management routes established within the business. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and reviewed by appropriate decision-makers to ensure timely action.
Training and awareness are important elements of our modern slavery statement. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, escalating concerns, and applying the zero-tolerance policy in day-to-day work. By strengthening awareness, Brompton Removals aims to ensure that potential risks are identified early and managed responsibly across the business and its supply network.
Our procurement and operational teams are encouraged to consider human rights risks when selecting suppliers and arranging services. We seek to work with partners who demonstrate transparency, lawful employment practices, and a commitment to ethical business conduct. Where a supplier cannot meet our expectations, we consider the level of risk and take appropriate steps to protect people from harm.
To maintain accountability, this statement is subject to an annual review. Each year we assess the effectiveness of our controls, the outcomes of supplier audits, any incidents or concerns reported, and updates in legislation or best practice. The review helps us refine our policies and improve our response to emerging risks, ensuring the Brompton Removals modern slavery framework remains current and effective.
Brompton Removals will continue to strengthen its commitment to ethical trading, responsible sourcing, and the protection of vulnerable workers. Modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain, and we will continue to act decisively where risks are identified. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency, prevention, and continual improvement.
