Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Companies in London

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of removal companies in London and related removal services in London to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Our London removal firms recognise that the moving and relocation sector can be vulnerable to exploitation, and we take a proactive approach to eliminate forced labour, debt bondage and other forms of abuse.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery across every part of our business, whether direct employees, subcontractors or third-party suppliers. As a leading removal company in London we require that all staff and partners comply with our code of conduct and ethical procurement standards; breaches will result in disciplinary action, contract termination and, where appropriate, reporting to the authorities.

Our commitment extends beyond words into specific actions: risk assessments, supplier due diligence and targeted audits. London movers and moving companies we work with are screened for labour practices, right-to-work checks and transparent payroll processes. We ensure that recruitment: fees, contracts and terms do not expose workers to exploitative conditions.

To reinforce accountability we use a tiered supplier audit programme. Audits include documentation review, on-site inspections and interviews where necessary. Audit criteria focus on:

• Employment checks and verification of legal working status;
• Payment and wage transparency to confirm timely, lawful wages;
• Recruitment practices to ensure no worker-paid fees;
• Accommodation and working conditions where provided;
• Records of subcontracting and the use of casual labour for moves.

We expect all London removal companies and local removal providers in our supply chain to cooperate with audits and corrective action plans. Where issues are identified the supplier must implement remediation within agreed timeframes; persistent non-compliance leads to suspension or removal from approved lists.

Reporting channels are maintained to make it easy and safe to raise concerns. Employees, subcontractors and third parties can use internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines and designated compliance officers. Reports are taken seriously, investigated confidentially and acted on promptly. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and provide support during investigations.

Zero-Tolerance and Enforcement

Our enforcement measures for any removal company in London found in breach of this policy include contract termination, recovery of fees where applicable, and informing relevant statutory bodies. We do not tolerate any form of trafficking, forced labour or exploitative employment across our fleet of vehicles, subcontracted crews or third-party warehouses.

Training, Communication and Continuous Improvement

We provide regular training to staff and management on recognising signs of exploitation in moving jobs, driver engagement and depot management. Communication materials for removal services in London and for our contractors explain responsibilities and how to escalate concerns. We include clauses in contracts with London removal firms that require compliance with modern slavery laws and the right to audit.

This statement is reviewed annually as part of our governance cycle. The annual review includes analysis of audit outcomes, reported incidents, supplier performance and evolving legal requirements. Improvements to policy, supplier screening and training are implemented each year to strengthen protections and reflect best practice in the removals sector.

By embedding these measures across our operations and supply chain, removal companies London-wide demonstrate a shared commitment to human rights and ethical business. We will continue to work with industry partners, regulators and stakeholders to end modern slavery and ensure that every move facilitated by our London movers is lawful, safe and respectful of human dignity.
