Modern Slavery Statement for Knightsbridge Removals

Knightsbridge Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the removals and logistics sector can involve multiple third parties, temporary labour and subcontracted services, which makes vigilance essential. Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all activities, and we expect every person working with or for us to uphold the same standard.

As a responsible removals company, Knightsbridge Removals understands that ethical conduct is not limited to legal compliance. We actively work to identify, assess and reduce risks of exploitation by embedding modern slavery prevention into procurement, workforce management and supplier selection. This approach reflects our wider commitment to fair treatment, transparent decision-making and safe working practices.

We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor or supplier involved in abusive labour practices. Any suspicion of forced labour, debt bondage, child labour or coercion will be investigated and acted upon promptly. Where necessary, we will suspend or end relationships with parties that fail to meet our standards.

Our Policies and Controls

Knightsbridge Removals maintains internal procedures designed to prevent and detect modern slavery risks. These include pre-engagement checks, workforce screening where appropriate, and clear expectations communicated to employees and external partners. Our managers are responsible for ensuring that our Knightsbridge Removals modern slavery statement is not merely aspirational, but reflected in day-to-day decisions and supplier oversight.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out proportionate supplier audits and reviews based on risk, service type and geography. Higher-risk suppliers may be asked to provide evidence of labour standards, recruitment processes, identity checks and subcontractor controls. Audits may include document reviews, site visits, worker interviews and corrective action plans. We expect suppliers to cooperate fully and to demonstrate continuous improvement if weaknesses are identified.

Where a supplier fails to meet required standards, we will issue remediation expectations and monitor progress. If concerns remain unresolved, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship. This measured but firm approach supports our zero-tolerance policy while encouraging ethical improvement across the supply chain.

Training, Awareness and Reporting

Employees are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as unusual wage deductions, restricted movement, poor living conditions, intimidation, or reluctance by workers to speak freely. Relevant team members receive guidance on identifying indicators of exploitation and on responding appropriately. By maintaining awareness, we strengthen our ability to prevent harm before it occurs.

Reporting channels are available for staff, suppliers and other stakeholders to raise concerns confidentially and in good faith. Reports can be escalated internally through management routes, and all concerns are reviewed promptly and sensitively. We do not permit retaliation against anyone who reports suspected abuse, raises a question, or assists an investigation. Protecting whistleblowers is central to our ethical removals company culture.

Any allegation linked to modern slavery is treated seriously, recorded carefully and investigated without delay. Where appropriate, we will involve specialist advisors or relevant authorities. Our objective is to support victims, prevent recurrence and reinforce accountable business practice.

Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current and aligned with legal obligations, operational changes and emerging risk factors. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance and any lessons learned from investigations. Actions arising from the review are assigned, tracked and monitored for completion.

Our annual process also helps us improve supplier engagement, strengthen controls and refresh training materials. Knightsbridge Removals believes that modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. We therefore remain committed to strengthening our governance and expectations year after year.

By maintaining clear policies, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review cycle, Knightsbridge Removals reinforces its commitment to dignity, transparency and lawful conduct. We will continue to take practical steps to ensure our business and supply chain remain free from exploitation and abuse.
