Modern Slavery Statement for Millhill Removals

Millhill Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect and accountability. As a responsible removals company, we recognise our duty to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation in every part of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our approach across the Millhill Removals business and its wider supply chain.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of modern slavery. We do not accept any practice that undermines personal freedom, dignity or lawful employment. This commitment is reflected in our recruitment standards, workforce management, and the way we select and monitor suppliers. We expect every person working with Millhill Removals to act ethically and to uphold the same standards.

We require all managers, employees, contractors and agency workers to comply with our policies and procedures. The Millhill Removals team is trained to recognise warning signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld documents, unsafe working arrangements, coercion or unusual payment practices. Any concerns are treated seriously and investigated promptly.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our modern slavery programme. Before engaging new suppliers, Millhill Removals assesses their labour practices, business reputation and ability to meet legal and ethical obligations. Where appropriate, we request written assurances, review policies and confirm that their own subcontractors are managed responsibly. We prefer suppliers who can demonstrate clear controls and a proactive approach to preventing exploitation.

We also carry out periodic supplier audits and reviews, especially where risk may be higher due to workforce size, labour intensity or geographic location. These audits may include document checks, site visits, worker interviews and verification of wage and right-to-work records. If issues are identified, we require corrective action, track progress and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship where standards are not met.

Millhill Removals promotes open and safe reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Anyone connected with the business can report suspected misconduct through internal management routes or established grievance procedures. Reports are handled confidentially where possible, and we are committed to protecting whistleblowers from victimisation. All allegations are reviewed carefully, documented and escalated when necessary.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance and into continuous improvement. We review our policies, training materials and supplier controls to ensure they remain effective and relevant. Where new risks emerge, we adapt our processes to strengthen prevention and detection. Millhill Removals also encourages responsible recruitment, fair treatment and clear communication across all levels of the business so that modern slavery risks are minimised.

Annual review is an essential part of this statement. Millhill Removals will review its Modern Slavery Statement at least once every year to confirm that it accurately reflects our practices and progress. The review considers incidents raised, audit findings, training outcomes and any changes in legislation or business activity. This annual process helps ensure that our response remains practical, current and effective.

Through these measures, Millhill Removals reinforces its position that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or supply chain. We will continue to improve awareness, strengthen oversight and act decisively where concerns arise. Our aim is to maintain a workplace and supplier network built on fairness, transparency and respect, with the Millhill Removals slavery statement serving as a clear expression of that commitment.
