IMO Car Wash Group Limited
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
IMO structure and business
We are a developer and operator of car wash sites.
IMO Car Wash Group Limited and its subsidiary companies (“IMO”) was owned by Driven Brands throughout 2025. Driven Brands is a publicly trading US organisation that encompasses more than 5,200 locations across 13 countries and takes approximately $6.5 billion in annual system-wide sales. It is the largest automotive aftermarket services company by location count in North America.
During 2025 IMO sat within the Driven Brands Car Wash division (“Car Wash International”) which represented one of four aftercare segments within Driven Brands. In 2025 IMO washed more than 23.5 million cars through a network of 718 locations. This, coupled with Driven Brands’ US car wash business, made Car Wash International the world’s largest local car wash conglomerate during 2025.
IMO has car wash sites in 12 countries across Europe and Australia. In the United Kingdom, our 243 IMO branded car wash sites are operated by independent operators under contract with one of our subsidiaries, Anduff Car Wash Ltd.
The senior management team of IMO through 2025 comprised:
- President, IMO Car Wash: Adam Green (replacing Tracy Gehlan in May 2025).
- Directors: Michael Diamond (replacing Jonathan Fitzpatrick in May 2025) and Scott O’Melia.
- Managing Director of Anduff Car Wash Ltd and the UK business: Nazim Ilyas.
Our supply chains
Our supply chains include chemical and equipment suppliers, maintenance contractors, brush manufacturers and self-employed car wash operators.
We expect organisations and individuals from whom we procure products and services, and other companies we engage with, to ensure that their goods, materials and labour related supply chains are fully compliant with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and free from ethical ambiguities.
Individuals with evidence of non-compliance with the Modern Slavery Act in connection with our supply chains are encouraged to follow the reporting procedure outlined in our Whistleblowing Policy.
Our policy on slavery and human trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-slavery and Human Trafficking 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 in our supply chains. The policy is available internally at all times to all employees, and can be provided externally on request.
Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking
The Board is responsible for reviewing potential risks where Modern Slavery could occur within our business. Having risk assessed our business, the Board has identified that there is low risk of Modern Slavery within the IMO business itself. We have identified that many non-EU nationals work in the car wash industry generally and that there is therefore potential for human trafficking and/or forced labour at car wash sites. Our car wash sites are operated independently by self-employed operators. We believe that our sites have a notably lower risk than hand car wash operations because the level of manual labour involved at our car wash sites is far lower than at hand car wash sites. However, we recognise that that risk may still exist within the operation of our car wash sites. The self-employed operators of our car wash sites engage staff directly and IMO has no direct oversight or control over the employment practices of those operators. We have ensured that our contracts with operators require them to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and we have the right to terminate our contract with the operator if they fail to comply. We do operate robust compliance checking on our operators, and our own employees regularly visit our sites and would have visibility of any poor or unsafe working conditions, as well as any sign of employees living at any of our sites.
Our Whistleblowing Policy also encourages reporting of any concerns and commits to protect employees from any retaliation for reporting a concern in good faith, even if that concern is eventually shown to be unjustified.
We will continue to monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
All of our employees receive the statutory employment rights to which they are entitled and we verify that all of our employees have the legal right to work in the UK. Our employees are provided with safe working conditions and we have the expectation that they will be treated at all times with dignity and respect.
Our effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking
We have:
- Agreed responsibilities for the Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and this statement and received unanimous support from our Senior Management Team;
- Raised awareness to key members of staff who regularly interact with our supply chain and contractors; and
- Incorporated the Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy in our standard set of Company policies and as part of our induction programme for all new employees.
During 2025 the following policies were in place for employees:
- Code of Conduct and Ethics (which is a Driven Brands policy that was applied to employees of IMO)
- Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
- Equal Opportunity Policy
- Grievance Policy and Procedure
- Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure
Employees are reminded of the policies from time to time and notified of any updates.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the anti-slavery and human trafficking statement of IMO Car Wash Group Ltd and its UK subsidiaries for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. The Board of IMO Car Wash Group Ltd approved this statement on 1 May 2026.
