Modern Slavery Statement

Pyco Renew Ltd (trading as ChipFlip) is an IT asset disposal and component-buying business based in Rochdale, England. We have a small UK-based workforce and operate solely from our Rochdale facility.

• Company No. 16774881
• VAT GB505306526
• Registered office: Unit D13, Fieldhouse Industrial Estate, Rochdale OL12 0AA

Our supply chain is short and concentrated in the UK and EEA. Principal categories of supplier are:

• Couriers — DPD (Geopost UK Ltd) for pickups
• Banking and payment — UK-regulated banks for Faster Payments
• WEEE / recycling partners — Environment Agency-registered UK processors
• IT and hosting — UK and EEA-based providers
• Office and facility supplies — established UK trade suppliers

We do not import goods directly and we do not have agency labour or subcontracted manual workforces beyond our direct employees.

We assess our modern slavery risk as low:

• Operations are UK-only with directly employed workers paid above National Living Wage
• Tier-1 suppliers are large, regulated UK operators (DPD, regulated banks, EA-licensed processors)
• We do not source goods from high-risk jurisdictions or labour-intensive offshore manufacturing
• Our buying activity (used IT components) is subject to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which itself imposes seller-verification duties that surface risk early

• Recruitment — direct hires only; right-to-work checks performed for every employee at onboarding.
• Whistleblowing — staff may raise concerns confidentially to a director without fear of reprisal.
• Supplier code of conduct — we expect our suppliers to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to flag any concerns in their own supply chains.
• Pay and working conditions — all employees receive at least the National Living Wage, written contracts, and standard UK employment protections.

We carry out due diligence proportionate to our size and risk profile:

• Verifying that tier-1 suppliers are UK-regulated entities (Companies House lookup, regulator registration)
• Reviewing supplier modern slavery statements where they publish one (e.g. DPD)
• Refusing to source from any supplier credibly linked to human trafficking or forced labour

All staff complete a short induction covering modern slavery indicators relevant to our service: unusual seller patterns, seller distress, third parties claiming to act for sellers without authority, and our reporting route. Staff are reminded annually.

If you have a concern about modern slavery or human trafficking in connection with our service, please contact us at info@chipflip.co.uk. Where appropriate we will report to the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline (08000 121 700) and the police.

This statement is approved by the directors of Pyco Renew Ltd and will be reviewed annually.
