Golfclubs4cash Ltd - Modern Slavery Statement 2024

Introduction

This statement applies to Golfclubs4cash Ltd who are committed to eliminating acts of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and from within our supply chains.

Our annual turnover is under £36 million. Although we are not legally obliged to report on slavery and human trafficking, this statement is made in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We make this statement in anticipation of our activities during 2025.

Organisational Structure, Business, and Supply Chains

Most of our operation is buying and selling used golf equipment purchased from the public and UK-based golf organisations like Golf Pro Shops.
We operate out of two locations.

In Loanhead, Edinburgh is our head office and trading facility.

We have a second facility trading in Warrington, Cheshire.

We are a private limited business registered on Companies House (SC490678).

Policy on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or in our supply chains. This policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere within our supply chains. We ensure that all suppliers we use are made aware of our policy and comply with equally high standards.

We have several policies in addition to this one that allow for whistle blowing, anti-bribery, harassment and bullying, mental health and wellbeing, equality etc that support the implementation of this policy

Risk Assessment and Commitments

We believe we are a low-risk organisation as we:

Don’t go direct to source products.
Do due diligence on our supply source where we buy from suppliers .
We have processes in place to ensure any purchases from consumers are free from criminal activity, and financially trackable. Should we subsequently identify criminal activity we would report this to law enforcement agencies.
We occasionally trade with brands who are aware of their obligations to source ethically and in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
During recruitment we ensure we verify the candidates “right to work” in the UK and that pay is only paid directly to the employee. We do not recruit from outside the UK and do not recruit agency staff.

Due Diligence

We will constantly review our processes and procedures to prevent slavery and human trafficking and publish this policy on our website to inform and raise awareness to our customers and the public.

We will continue to be committed to implementing systems that retain controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our supply chain.

We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards and request that within any contractual due diligence that the organisations Modern Slavery Policy is provided and filed (if required by legislation) or that they can demonstrate that they take actions to avoid (if don’t require legislation).

Training

Most of the decisions made are at senior manager level or above, to which each manager has been trained in this policy.

Processes are put in place to prevent other colleagues from breaching the rules, however all will be regularly reminded of this policy in colleague communications.

Goals and KPI’s

We will review our goals annually which at present are to:

Ensure all our colleagues are entitled to all UK worker’s rights.
Recruit in line with UK employment law and not use worker paid recruitment fees.
Encourage whistle blowing from colleagues and partners.
Have zero tolerance to any activity from a member of this organisation or partner that enables or utilises modern slavery or people trafficking.
Ensure 100% of all new contracts have.
