Modern Slavery Statement — Notting Hill Skip Hire

Notting Hill Skip Hire confirms its firm commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy to forced labour, exploitation and any form of coerced labour across our Notting Hill skip-hire services and related waste management activities. We recognise our responsibility to be vigilant and to act where risks are identified, and we embed this commitment into corporate governance and everyday practice.

Our Commitment and Policy

Our company policy is clear: we will not tolerate modern slavery in our business or supplier network. As a provider of Notting Hill skip hire and local waste services, we require all colleagues, contractors and partners to adhere to mandatory standards on working conditions, lawful employment and fair treatment. We operate a zero-tolerance policy that applies to recruitment, subcontracting and any procurement of goods or services.

Scope, Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk assessments across our operations and wider supply chain for Notting Hill skips and skip-hire-related purchases. This includes periodic supplier audits and targeted checks for areas with higher vulnerability. Our supplier audit programme includes:

• Pre-engagement due diligence on labour practices;
• Document verification and right-to-work checks;
• On-site or virtual audits where necessary.

The audit outcomes inform corrective action plans and, where breaches are found, escalation in line with our enforcement procedures.

We have implemented a structured supplier management approach for the Notting Hill skip-hire supply chain. This includes contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery requirements, the right to audit, and the obligation to remediate. Our procurement teams prioritise suppliers who demonstrate ethical recruitment practices, transparent labour sourcing and traceable supply lines. Supplier audits are scheduled based on risk rating and are supplemented by random checks to maintain continuous oversight.

Reporting channels are essential to our approach. We provide multiple, accessible routes for employees, workers in our supply chain and third parties to raise concerns about exploitation or suspected slavery. These channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms, escalation to senior management and a protected whistleblowing process. While we do not publish contact details in this statement, we ensure reporters are supported, confidentiality is protected and reports are investigated promptly. All reports are taken seriously and treated with urgency.

To strengthen awareness we deliver targeted training on modern slavery risks for staff involved in procurement, operations and HR for our Notting Hill skip hire operations. Training covers recognising signs of exploitation, how to use reporting channels, and the steps to take when a concern is identified. We also maintain records of due diligence, recruitment checks and supplier audit findings to demonstrate compliance and continual improvement.

Our monitoring and enforcement framework sets out consequences for suppliers that fail to meet our standards. These actions may include remedial plans, temporary suspension of contracts, or termination where non-compliance is severe. We work collaboratively with suppliers to remediate where possible, but we will take decisive action under our zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and forced labour.

We maintain a risk-based approach to supplier audits and corrective interventions. Key elements include:

• Regular review of supplier risk profiles;
• Escalation protocols for repeated or serious breaches;
• Documentation of corrective actions and closure criteria.

This structured approach supports transparency and accountability across our Notting Hill waste services and skip-hire partnerships.

Annual review and governance: Our Board and senior leadership conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement, our policies, and the effectiveness of our supplier audits and reporting channels. The annual review examines incident data, audit results, training completion rates and the adequacy of remedial actions. Findings from the review inform policy updates, refreshed training modules and adjustments to our due diligence processes to address emerging risks in the skip-hire sector.

In conclusion, Notting Hill Skip Hire affirms its commitment to combating modern slavery across every part of our business and supply chain. We embed a culture of vigilance, support accessible reporting channels, conduct robust supplier audits and carry out an annual review to ensure continuous improvement. Our mission is to operate with integrity, protect vulnerable workers and ensure that all services under the Notting Hill skip-hire banner are free from exploitation.

We will continue to strengthen our practices, collaborate with supply partners and stakeholders, and act decisively where risks are identified. This statement is published to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery and to set clear expectations for behaviour across the company and its suppliers.
