A) ORGANISATION

This statement applies to Possum Limited (referred to in this statement as ‘the Company). The information included in the statement refers to the financial year ending 31 March 2026.

B) DEFINITIONS

The Company considers that modern slavery encompasses:

  • Human trafficking
  • Forced work, through mental or physical threat.
  • Being owned or controlled by an employer through mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse.
  • Being dehumanised, treated as a commodity, or being bought or sold as property.
  • Being physically constrained or to have restriction placed on freedom of movement.

C) COMMITMENT

The Company acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Company understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.

The Company does not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

No labour provided to the Company in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. The Company strictly adheres to the minimum standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in the United Kingdom.

D) ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Possum Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eamont Holdings Limited and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The head office is situated in Aylesbury where the sales administration, finance, operations, and new product development teams are based. There is also a team of field-based service engineers, a sales team and technical support team who are based around the UK and work from home.

The Group is owned by Philip Robinson and has three directors.

The labour supplied to the Company in pursuance of its operation is carried out in the United Kingdom and Europe.

E) SUPPLY CHAIN STRUCTURE

In order to fulfil its activities, the Company’s main supply chains include those related to the development, manufacture, supply, install and support assistive technology products and systems predominantly in the United Kingdom and Europe.

F) ASSESSING AND MANAGING RISK

As the Company first tier supply chain is situated in mainland Europe, the Company considers its main exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking to exist in tier two suppliers that may source products where the provision of labour is in a country where protection against breaches of human rights may be limited.

In general, the Company considers its exposure to slavery/human trafficking to be limited. Nonetheless, it has taken reasonable steps to ensure that such practices do not take place in its business nor the business of any organisation that supplies goods and/or services to it.

G) DUE DILIGENCE IN RELATION TO MODERN SLAVERY

The Company carries out due diligence processes in relation to ensuring slavery and/or human trafficking does not take place in its organisation or supply chains, including conducting a review of the controls of its suppliers. Contracts with suppliers include the need to follow all applicable laws and ethical practices, which encompasses anti-slavery and the employment of minors.

H) TRAINING

The Company provides training to staff to effectively implement its stance on modern slavery.

I) MODERN SLAVERY COMPLIANCE

The Company has not, to its knowledge, conducted any business with another organisation which has been found to have involved itself with modern slavery. In accordance with section 54(4) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Company has regular meetings with suppliers to review performance and to reaffirm our mutual commitment to business ethics and Possum’s zero tolerance to modern slavery.

The Company has a Modern Slavery Compliance Officer, to whom all concerns regarding modern slavery should be addressed, and who will then undertake relevant action with regard to the Company obligations in this regard.

This statement is made in pursuance of Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will be reviewed for each financial year.
