Modern Slavery Statement for Marylebone Movers

Marylebone Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that the logistics and removals sector can involve varied suppliers, contractors, and service partners, and we take our responsibility seriously to ensure that Marylebone Movers’ modern slavery controls remain effective and proportionate.

Our Commitment and Principles

Our policy is clear: we will not knowingly work with any individual, organisation, or supplier involved in exploitation. Every person engaged in our business must be treated fairly, lawfully, and with basic human dignity. We expect all employees and partners to uphold the same standards. This commitment is embedded in recruitment practices, procurement decisions, and operational oversight, helping to ensure that modern slavery prevention remains a core part of how Marylebone Movers operates.

We assess risk across our business activities and supply chain, focusing on areas where labour exploitation could occur, such as subcontracted transport, temporary labour, cleaning, packaging, and maintenance services. Our due diligence process includes reviewing supplier credentials, checking compliance documentation, and seeking assurances that labour practices are lawful and ethical. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm their own anti-slavery policies and to demonstrate how they protect workers from coercion, debt bondage, and unsafe working conditions.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are an important part of our approach. Depending on the nature and risk profile of a supplier, audits may be desk-based, scheduled, or triggered by concerns. We look for evidence of fair recruitment, proper wage practices, working hours compliance, safe accommodation where applicable, and the absence of intimidation or document retention. If concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action plans, increased monitoring, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship where necessary.

Our procurement teams are trained to recognise warning signs and to escalate concerns without delay. This supports a culture in which modern slavery risks are actively identified rather than ignored. We also review our supplier base periodically to ensure that expectations remain aligned with changing legal requirements and industry best practice.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We provide relevant staff with awareness training so they can understand what modern slavery is, how it may present, and what action to take if a concern arises. Training emphasises the importance of speaking up, maintaining records, and protecting vulnerable individuals. To support reporting, Marylebone Movers maintains confidential reporting channels through which employees, contractors, and other stakeholders may raise concerns about suspicious activity, labour exploitation, or breaches of our standards.

Reports can be made internally through management or designated compliance routes, and concerns are handled sensitively and proportionately. No one who raises a concern in good faith will suffer retaliation. Where a report indicates possible exploitation, we will assess the facts, take immediate protective action where needed, and cooperate with relevant authorities as required by law. This approach reinforces our zero-tolerance policy and our determination to prevent abuse in any form.

We also encourage openness in contract management and performance reviews. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we will work with them to improve, but we will not compromise on human rights or ethical labour conditions.

The effectiveness of this statement and the controls behind it is reviewed annually. Each annual review considers the results of supplier audits, any reported concerns, changes in legislation, training completion, and lessons learned from investigations or corrective actions. The review helps us identify emerging risks and strengthen our modern slavery compliance framework across Marylebone Movers and its supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

As part of our yearly assessment, we update policies where necessary, refresh staff guidance, and refine supplier assurance measures to improve oversight. This process ensures that Marylebone Movers’ anti-slavery statement remains current, practical, and effective. We are committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a workplace and supply chain that are free from exploitation, abuse, and unlawful labour practices.

Marylebone Movers will continue to act with care, accountability, and vigilance. By embedding ethical standards into daily decision-making, strengthening supplier audits, and providing trusted reporting channels, we aim to uphold our responsibilities and contribute to the eradication of modern slavery wherever our business activities may have influence.
