Who We Are 

The Auction Rooms is a serviced office provider based in Edinburgh.

We are committed to: 

  • Sourcing from suppliers who, to the best of our knowledge, adhere to ethical practices.

  • Seeking to work with suppliers who demonstrate responsible and ethical practices. 

  • Remaining vigilant and open to addressing any concerns about modern slavery that may arise. 

  • Ensuring awareness of modern slavery risks as we grow. 

Risk and Response
