Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Northolt

Skip Hire Northolt is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our commitment to a zero-tolerance policy, the steps we take to identify and reduce risks, and how we ensure accountability across all areas of our business. We recognise that as a provider of skip hire services in the local area we have a duty to act decisively to eliminate exploitation and protect vulnerable people.

We have a clear and public position: forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation will not be tolerated in any part of our activities. As a company providing skip hire in Northolt and related services, we integrate anti-slavery requirements into procurement, contracting and operational controls to make this commitment tangible and enforceable across our relationships with suppliers, subcontractors and labour providers.

Our approach to managing risk is proportionate and risk-based. For relationships where the risk of modern slavery is higher, including workers supplied via third-party labour providers or complex waste handling activities, we require additional scrutiny and contractual safeguards. This policy applies to all employees, contractors and partners working with Northolt skip hire operations.

The Board and senior management have approved this statement and the policies that underpin it. The Company Compliance Lead oversees implementation and receives regular reports that inform leadership decisions. Roles and responsibilities are documented and incorporated into job descriptions for procurement, operations and human resources teams to ensure consistent ownership of anti-slavery measures.

Supplier due diligence and on-the-ground verification form the backbone of our assurance activities. As part of our procurement lifecycle for SkipHire Northolt, we use pre-qualification checks, risk assessments, contractual clauses, and evidence-based verification. Where appropriate we require suppliers to provide payroll records, recruitment documentation and demonstration of worker entitlements to ensure transparent and lawful labour practices.

We run a structured audit program that includes:

• Pre-contract risk screening and mandatory anti-slavery contract terms
• Routine supplier self-assessments and documentary checks
• Targeted on-site audits, interviews with workers and remediation plans where issues are identified

We provide multiple, secure reporting channels so that concerns can be raised confidentially by workers, suppliers and third parties. Our whistleblowing procedures and internal incident reporting routes enable timely investigation and appropriate protective measures for anyone who reports suspected modern slavery. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and escalated through a documented process to ensure fairness and transparency.

Training and awareness raising are delivered across the organisation: procurement teams, on-site supervisors and operational staff receive tailored sessions on recognising indicators of exploitation and the steps to take should they observe concerns. Training materials are reviewed periodically and updated in response to new intelligence, legislative changes and lessons learned from audits or incidents.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review examines audit outcomes, remediation effectiveness, training uptake, and key performance indicators such as the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported and corrective actions implemented. Findings are reported to the Board and used to refine our approach. Where shortcomings are identified we take remedial action including supplier suspension or termination when necessary to protect workers and uphold our zero-tolerance stance.
