Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Marylebone
Movers Marylebone is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices across our operations and supply chains.
As a trusted Marylebone removals company, we recognise that the nature of the logistics and moving sector can present risks in labour sourcing, subcontracting, and procurement. For that reason, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. We expect the same commitment from everyone who works with us, including employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers.
We take a risk-based approach to identifying and addressing vulnerability in our business relationships. This includes reviewing labour practices, verifying employment arrangements, and ensuring that no one is subjected to coercion, deception, debt bondage, or withheld wages. Our Marylebone moving services operate under clear internal standards designed to promote fairness, dignity, and lawful working conditions.
Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. Before engaging with a supplier, we assess its ethical standards, labour policies, and compliance history. We reserve the right to request evidence of lawful hiring, age verification, pay records, and subcontractor controls. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits to confirm that working conditions meet our expectations and that any risks are identified and corrected promptly.
Our audits may include document checks, contract reviews, and discussions with supplier management about workforce sourcing and supervision. If concerns are raised, we require a corrective action plan and monitor progress closely. We will not continue a commercial relationship where serious concerns remain unresolved. This applies equally to any Movers Marylebone partner involved in transport, packing, storage, or related services.
We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, agency workers, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected misconduct, unsafe practices, or signs of exploitation through internal escalation routes. All reports are handled confidentially where possible, investigated promptly, and treated with seriousness and respect. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation in line with our internal policies.
Governance, Training, and Responsibility
Responsibility for modern slavery prevention sits with our leadership team, who oversee policy implementation, risk assessment, and response actions. Managers are expected to promote ethical conduct and ensure that recruitment, onboarding, and supplier management processes reflect our standards. We maintain records of checks performed and actions taken to demonstrate accountability across the business.
Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unexplained dependency, irregular pay arrangements, or excessive working hours. This helps strengthen our ability to identify issues early. Our Marylebone movers teams are also reminded to remain alert when working with temporary labour providers or seasonal support during busy periods.
Annual Review
This statement, together with the supporting policy framework, is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers audit findings, any reported concerns, supplier performance, and lessons learned from investigations. Where necessary, we update controls, improve training, and strengthen due diligence.
We believe that a strong anti-slavery stance is essential to responsible business. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, offering reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Movers Marylebone works to reduce risk and uphold the rights and welfare of every person connected to our operations. Our commitment is ongoing, and we expect continual improvement in all areas where labour exploitation could occur.
