Modern Slavery Statement for Gallowscorner Storage

Gallowscorner Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector and supply chain, and we therefore take a proactive approach to prevention, detection, and response. Our position is clear: no person should be subjected to abuse, coercion, or exploitation in connection with our operations.

As a storage provider, we work with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We expect all those acting on behalf of Gallowscorner Storage to uphold the same ethical standards that guide our own activities. This includes compliance with applicable labour laws, fair employment practices, and safe working conditions. We seek to ensure that our business relationships support dignity and lawful treatment at every stage.

We maintain an ongoing commitment to identifying and reducing modern slavery risks across our business. This commitment is supported by internal oversight, staff awareness, and due diligence procedures designed to help us understand where vulnerabilities may exist. Our approach is not static; it is reviewed and strengthened as our operations and supplier base evolve.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Gallowscorner Storage applies a risk-based method to supplier management. Before entering into significant supplier relationships, we assess the nature of the service, the location of operations, and the labour practices involved. Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to confirm their own anti-slavery controls and provide evidence of compliance with ethical standards. We reserve the right to audit suppliers and request supporting documentation where concerns arise.

Our supplier audits may include reviews of employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage records, worker accommodation standards, and site conditions. If a concern is identified, we will seek corrective action promptly and may suspend or end the relationship if remediation is not satisfactory. We expect suppliers to investigate their own supply chains and to communicate our expectations clearly to their workers and business partners.

These controls are intended to reduce the likelihood of hidden exploitation and strengthen accountability throughout the supply chain. By requiring openness and cooperation, Gallowscorner Storage’s modern slavery commitments become part of routine commercial practice rather than a standalone policy statement.

Reporting Channels and Employee Responsibility

We encourage employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any suspicion, concern, or incident related to modern slavery. Reports may be made through internal management channels or through established escalation processes within the organisation. Concerns will be handled sensitively, and individuals raising issues in good faith will be supported. We do not permit retaliation against anyone who speaks up about potential abuse.

All staff have a responsibility to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual restrictions on movement, signs of coercion, unsafe working conditions, document retention, or unexplained dependence on third parties. Training and internal communication help reinforce this awareness. If a concern is raised, it will be assessed promptly, investigated where necessary, and addressed in line with our disciplinary, contractual, and safeguarding procedures.

We recognise that effective reporting channels are essential to a credible anti-slavery framework. Transparency, vigilance, and action are central to how Gallowscorner Storage responds to potential risks. This culture of responsibility supports both compliance and ethical conduct across the organisation.

Review, Governance, and Continuous Improvement

This Statement is subject to annual review to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers changes in our business model, supplier risk profile, incident trends, and the effectiveness of our controls. Where improvements are identified, we will update our processes and strengthen our oversight accordingly.

Gallowscorner Storage’s management is responsible for ensuring that modern slavery prevention remains a standing priority. The company will continue to monitor relevant risks, refine supplier audits, and reinforce reporting channels so that concerns can be identified early and handled properly. We understand that combatting exploitation requires persistence and consistency.

In every part of our operations, we aim to act responsibly and ethically. Through a zero-tolerance stance, targeted supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, Gallowscorner Storage reinforces its commitment to preventing modern slavery and supporting fair treatment for all people connected to our business.
