Modern Slavery Statement

1. Introduction

Grhum Ltd's turnover is below the £36 million threshold at which section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires a statement. We publish one anyway, because our clients in insurance, housing and the public sector require it of their supply chain, and because the sectors we buy from — cleaning, housekeeping, removals and construction-adjacent accommodation — carry a recognised risk of labour exploitation. This statement sets out the steps we have taken during the financial year ending 31 July 2026 to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.

2. Our business and supply chains

Grhum Ltd is a business-to-business serviced accommodation agency headquartered in England, with a team in London and Antrim and remote colleagues, placing guests into directly contracted apartments and houses across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Our supply chain comprises: landlords and serviced apartment operators; housekeeping and linen contractors engaged directly or through operators; key-holding, removals and storage partners; hotels booked through Grhum Travel Solutions for emergency first nights; IT, telephony and professional services; and, as Grhum Travel Solutions develops, travel suppliers and distribution partners in the UK, India, the United Arab Emirates and South-East Asia.

3. Policies

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Our Supplier Terms require every landlord, operator and service partner to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, to pay at least the applicable National Minimum or Living Wage, to engage workers lawfully with the right to work, to withhold no identity documents and to make no recruitment-fee deductions from workers' pay. Our recruitment policy requires right-to-work checks on every hire and prohibits the use of recruitment agencies that charge workers. Our whistleblowing policy allows any colleague, worker in our supply chain or guest to raise a concern in confidence with a director, and protects those who do.

4. Due diligence and risk assessment

We assess risk at the point of contracting. Housekeeping and linen are the highest-risk categories in our chain. For those, and for any operator employing cleaning staff directly, we ask for confirmation of PAYE employment or legitimate self-employment, wage rates, and the absence of accommodation tie-ins or deductions, and we retain the response on the supplier's compliance file alongside gas, electrical, fire and insurance certification. Our placement coordinators and guest support team are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation in the properties they visit and among the workers they meet, and to escalate concerns the same day. We reserve, and will exercise, the right to suspend and terminate any supplier where credible concerns are not resolved.

5. Effectiveness and key performance indicators

We measure: the proportion of active suppliers with a completed modern slavery declaration on file (target 100 per cent by 31 July 2027); the number of concerns raised and their outcomes (none were raised in the reporting year); the proportion of staff who completed modern slavery awareness training (100 per cent in the reporting year); and the time taken to close any supplier remediation action. Progress is reported to the board twice a year.

6. Training

All colleagues complete modern slavery awareness training on joining and annually, covering the indicators of forced labour in cleaning and accommodation settings, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority's guidance, and how to report a concern to us, to the Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline (08000 121 700) or to the police.

7. Next steps

In the coming year we will extend the supplier declaration to every travel supplier and distribution partner engaged through Grhum Travel Solutions, introduce a short site-visit checklist for housekeeping providers, and review this statement's key performance indicators against the Home Office's statutory guidance.

This statement was approved by the board of directors of Grhum Ltd on 15 September 2026 and is signed on its behalf by a director.
