Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Brimsdown

Skip Hire Brimsdown is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring that all workers in our business and supply chains are treated fairly and legally. Our zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking is a core part of the company’s ethical standards and operational commitments.

We operate as a local waste management provider under the trading name Brimsdown skip hire and recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and transparency. All employees, subcontractors and partners must adhere to our code of conduct. This declaration applies to the parent company and to all skip-hire Brimsdown operational units, and it informs procurement, recruitment and contractual arrangements.

Our policy framework mandates routine checks and clear procedures. We require suppliers and contractors to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to supply relevant documentation on demand. The board has approved a formal zero tolerance stance which means any credible allegation of modern slavery triggers immediate investigation, suspension of the supplier relationship if necessary, and referral to statutory authorities as appropriate.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct targeted due diligence across our supplier base. This includes risk assessments to identify high-risk suppliers and geographic vulnerabilities. Our procurement team uses a risk-based approach and maintains a register of critical suppliers. Contracts include anti-slavery clauses and the right to audit, ensuring contractual leverage to enforce compliance where required.

Supplier audits form a central pillar of our approach. Audits are a combination of self-assessment questionnaires, documentary evidence reviews and on-site inspections for high-risk partners. Audit findings are recorded and tracked; non-conformance triggers remediation plans with defined timelines. We prioritise repeated checks for suppliers of labour, logistics and materials where exposure is greatest.

To support continuous improvement we provide training for procurement staff and managers. Staff responsible for supplier selection receive guidance on recognising indicators of forced labour and on steps to escalate concerns. We also encourage suppliers to develop their own anti-slavery programmes and to share best practices across the industry.

Reporting Channels, Whistleblowing and Review

We maintain multiple reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Employees and third parties can raise issues confidentially through internal reporting lines, and any credible report will be investigated promptly. Our whistleblowing process protects reporters from retaliation and emphasises the importance of responsible reporting.

Our reporting framework outlines clear responsibilities: managers must escalate suspected cases immediately, and a cross-functional panel reviews each case. Investigations can involve HR, legal counsel and external experts. Where exploitation is confirmed, we take decisive action to protect victims, terminate contracts where necessary and cooperate fully with law enforcement.

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually by senior management and the board. The annual review assesses policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, training coverage, and any incidents recorded. Skip Hire Brimsdown commits to continuous improvement and will update this statement to reflect changes in legislation, business operations or risk profile. We publish the results of our review and the actions taken as part of our governance disclosures.

Key elements of our commitment include:

• Zero-tolerance policy: clear prohibition of forced labour in all operations and supply chains.
• Supplier audits: regular checks, risk-based inspections and corrective action plans.
• Reporting channels: confidential reporting, whistleblower protection and prompt investigations.
• Annual review: management and board oversight to ensure effectiveness and continuous improvement.

By embedding these measures in procurement, operations and governance, the company aims to minimise the risk of modern slavery and to act swiftly when concerns arise. Our collective responsibility is to ensure that the services offered under the various forms of our name — Skip Hire Brimsdown, Brimsdown skip hire and skip-hire Brimsdown — are delivered ethically and lawfully.
