Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Knightsbridge

Movers Knightsbridge is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and expect the same standard from everyone who works with or for us.

Our Commitment

As a responsible moving services provider, Movers Knightsbridge recognises that the risk of exploitation can exist in labour-intensive sectors, subcontracted services, and global sourcing arrangements. We therefore apply robust controls to ensure that workers are treated lawfully, fairly, and ethically. Our Knightsbridge movers business is guided by clear internal standards covering recruitment, working hours, pay practices, and freedom of association.

Policy Principles

Our anti-slavery approach is embedded in recruitment, supplier engagement, and day-to-day management. We require proof of the right to work, prohibit passport retention, and do not permit any form of debt bondage or coercion. Managers are trained to identify warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld wages, unsafe accommodation, and unusual control by intermediaries. These safeguards help ensure that our modern slavery policy remains practical and effective.

We also expect our suppliers and subcontractors to uphold the same principles. Before onboarding, potential partners are screened for legal compliance, labour practices, ownership structure, and use of sub-agents. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to additional due diligence, document checks, and site-based verification. This is central to how Movers Knightsbridge manages ethical risk across its wider operations.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Supplier audits are a key part of our control framework. We conduct periodic reviews based on risk level, service type, geography, and workforce profile. Audits may include record inspection, worker interviews, payroll review, and confirmation of subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans, set deadlines, and monitor progress. If a supplier fails to improve or is linked to serious exploitation, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Safeguards

Anyone connected to our business can raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct through internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially, and concerns are handled sensitively and without retaliation. We encourage early escalation so that issues can be investigated promptly and fairly. Where appropriate, we will involve senior management, legal advisers, or specialist investigators to ensure allegations are addressed thoroughly and objectively.

We reinforce these reporting channels through staff awareness briefings and supplier communications. Employees are reminded that even small indicators can signal serious abuse, and that speaking up is a professional duty. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to any individual or organisation found to have engaged in slavery, servitude, forced labour, or human trafficking. We also require documented remediation where lower-level compliance weaknesses are identified.

Training, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Training is provided to relevant employees so they can recognise risk factors and apply our procedures consistently. We review recruitment practices, subcontracting controls, and procurement decisions to keep our framework aligned with current risks. The board and senior leadership oversee performance and receive updates on incidents, audits, and corrective actions. This governance structure helps strengthen our anti-slavery statement year after year.

This statement will be reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, business structure, and operational risk. Each annual review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, and the effectiveness of our preventative measures. By continuously improving our controls, Movers Knightsbridge aims to ensure that dignity, transparency, and lawful employment remain at the heart of our business.
