Brompton Removals Modern Slavery Statement

Brompton Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. As a removal services provider, we recognise that our operations rely on a wide network of people, partners, and suppliers, and we accept our responsibility to help prevent exploitation in all forms. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, reduce, and respond to the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, and any form of human trafficking. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers working with or on behalf of Brompton Removals. We expect everyone associated with our business to act lawfully, ethically, and with dignity toward others. Where concerns arise, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include terminating relationships or reporting matters to the relevant authorities.

Our approach is grounded in prevention, oversight, and continuous improvement. We assess potential risks in recruitment, transport, storage, cleaning, subcontracted labour, and other third-party services. The nature of the removals industry means that temporary labour and outsourced services may present vulnerability if not properly managed. We therefore seek to maintain clear standards, documented controls, and regular review processes to ensure our Brompton Removals slavery statement remains effective and relevant.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical conduct. Before entering into new arrangements, we carry out proportionate due diligence to understand the supplier’s labour practices, ownership structure, and compliance record. Where appropriate, we include contractual obligations requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and to cascade similar expectations through their own supply chains.

Supplier monitoring is an important part of our modern slavery statement for Brompton Removals. We undertake supplier audits and reviews on a risk-based basis, prioritising higher-risk categories such as labour providers, outsourced logistics, and facilities services. These audits may involve checking worker documentation, examining payroll and working-hour practices, reviewing subcontracting arrangements, and confirming that workers can raise concerns without fear of reprisal.

Where a supplier falls short of our standards, we will seek corrective action within a defined timeframe. If improvement is not demonstrated, we will reconsider the commercial relationship. Our goal is not only to detect risk, but to encourage responsible practices across the supply chain and support long-term ethical partnerships.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding Concerns

We want concerns to be raised early. Employees, workers, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected misconduct, unsafe practices, or signs of exploitation through internal reporting routes. Reports may be made to line managers, senior leadership, or designated safeguarding contacts. All concerns will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated as appropriate.

We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith. Confidentiality will be protected where possible, and information will only be shared on a need-to-know basis. If a report indicates a potential criminal offence, we will consider the need to involve external enforcement or support agencies.

Training and awareness also play a key role in our Brompton Removals modern slavery statement. We provide guidance to help staff recognise warning signs, including restricted movement, unusual dependency on an employer, signs of coercion, withheld documents, or unexplained deductions from pay. By strengthening awareness, we improve our ability to prevent harm and act quickly when needed.

Governance, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Responsibility for overseeing this statement sits with senior management, who monitor progress and ensure anti-slavery controls are integrated into day-to-day operations. Our procedures are reviewed against legal requirements, operational changes, and emerging risks to keep our approach proportionate and effective. We expect our managers to lead by example and embed ethical conduct in every area of the business.

Annual review is a core element of our commitment. This statement and the supporting controls are reviewed at least once every year to measure effectiveness, identify gaps, and update our priorities. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes to the risk profile of our business. Where improvements are identified, we set actions and track completion.

Brompton Removals will continue to strengthen its policies and procedures to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chains. Through vigilance, due diligence, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold the highest standards of business conduct and protect the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our company.
