Modern Slavery Statement

Our commitment

Olympia Removals & Storage is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our business or our supply chain.

Our business and supply chain

We provide domestic commercial and international removals packing and storage services. Our supply chain includes packaging material suppliers vehicle and fuel providers partner carriers for long distance and overseas work storage facilities and professional services.

Recruitment and employment

Removals is an industry where casual labour is common and that is exactly where risk sits. We directly employ our crews verify the right to work of every person we take on pay at or above statutory minimum rates and never use unverified labour agencies. No worker is required to pay any fee to obtain work with us and no identity documents are retained.

Due diligence

Suppliers and partner carriers are expected to meet the same standards. We assess new suppliers before engaging them review existing relationships periodically and will end a relationship where we find evidence of forced labour exploitation or trafficking.

Training and awareness

Managers and operational staff are briefed on the indicators of modern slavery and on how to raise a concern. Because our crews enter homes and business premises every day they are also encouraged to report anything that appears to indicate exploitation.

Reporting a concern

Anyone who suspects modern slavery in connection with our business can report it in confidence to office@olympiaremovals.co.uk. Reports are investigated and no one will suffer detriment for raising a genuine concern.

Review

This statement is reviewed and updated annually.
