Anti Slavery Policy

Formula One Auto Centres Limited Modern Slavery Statement

Financial year ended 31 July 2026

This statement sets out the steps Formula One Auto Centres Limited has taken during the financial year ended 31 July 2026 to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains. It is made under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in our business dealings and relationships.

Our organisation and supply chains

Formula One Auto Centres Limited is a private limited company registered under company number 01437311. Our registered office is Aston House, Boulton Road, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG1 4QX. We trade as Formula One Autocentres and operate more than 170 branches across the United Kingdom, supported by more than 1,000 employees.

Our principal activity is the maintenance and repair of motor vehicles. We provide tyres, MOT testing, servicing and related vehicle maintenance products and services, including exhausts, batteries, brakes, clutches, wheel alignment, suspension and air conditioning services.

We buy the goods and services needed to operate our branch network and support functions. Our supply chains include manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers of tyres, vehicle parts, workshop equipment and consumables, as well as providers of property, facilities, logistics, technology, professional and labour-related services. Some product supply chains extend through several tiers and overseas markets.

Policies and governance

The Board is responsible for approving this statement and overseeing our response to modern slavery risk. The management team is responsible for ensuring that our Anti Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations. Managers are responsible for applying the policy within their areas, monitoring its use and reviewing relevant controls.

During the reporting year, we updated our Anti Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy. The revised policy took effect in April 2026 and applies to employees, directors, agency workers, contractors, consultants, suppliers and other business partners. Our Whistleblowing Policy and Grievance Procedure provide related routes for employees to raise concerns and seek protection from detrimental treatment.

Modern slavery risks

Modern slavery risk can arise in our direct operations and at any tier of our supply chains. The areas that may carry higher inherent risk for our business include:

• complex and multi-tier supply chains for tyres, vehicle parts, workshop equipment and raw materials, particularly where manufacturing takes place overseas
• labour-intensive outsourced services, including facilities, logistics and other operational support
• the use of recruitment agencies, temporary labour or other labour intermediaries
• suppliers operating in sectors or countries where labour protections or enforcement may be weaker

Our UK employment controls and management oversight help to reduce risk in our direct workforce, but they do not remove the need for vigilance. We expect concerns to be raised promptly and reviewed through the routes set out in our policies.

Supplier standards and due diligence

We expect contractors, suppliers and other business partners to meet the same high standards that we apply to ourselves. Our contracting approach prohibits forced, compulsory or trafficked labour and the use of anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether an adult or a child. We also expect suppliers to apply equivalent standards within their own supply chains.

Our zero-tolerance approach must be communicated at the outset of relevant business relationships and reinforced where appropriate. If concerns arise, we may engage with a supplier and provide support or guidance to help address coercive or exploitative practices, with the welfare and safety of affected workers as the priority. We may terminate relationships with individuals or organisations that breach our policy.

Reporting concerns and protecting people

Employees must raise a concern with their manager or report it under our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible. Contractors, suppliers and other business partners should contact their usual Formula One Autocentres representative. Anyone who is unsure whether conduct or working conditions may constitute modern slavery should still raise the matter.

We support anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith, even if it turns out to be mistaken. No one should suffer dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment for making such a report. Employees who believe they have suffered detrimental treatment may raise the matter with another manager or under our Grievance Procedure.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. Concerns about modern slavery in the UK can also be reported to the police on 101, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority on 0800 432 0804, or the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline on 08000 121 700.
