Modern Slavery Statement for Mayfair Removals
Mayfair Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that zero tolerance must be more than a principle; it must shape everyday decisions, from recruitment to procurement. Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, including subcontracted services, transport, warehousing, and the handling of customer property.
We acknowledge that the removals and logistics sector may present risks linked to temporary labour, third-party service providers, and complex supply networks. For this reason, Mayfair Removals’ modern slavery policy requires all managers and employees to remain alert to signs of coercion, withheld wages, identity document retention, and unsafe working conditions. We expect suppliers and business partners to uphold the same standards and to comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws.
Our approach includes due diligence at the point of onboarding and throughout the relationship. New and existing suppliers are assessed for ownership structure, labour practices, and evidence of responsible employment controls. Where concerns arise, we will investigate promptly, request corrective action, and, if necessary, suspend or end the relationship. This anti-slavery commitment is reinforced through internal training, management oversight, and clear accountability at senior level.
We maintain robust supplier audits to verify compliance with our standards. These reviews may include document checks, risk-based site visits, workforce screening, and examination of subcontracting arrangements. We pay particular attention to labour brokers, agency staff, and any arrangements involving accommodation or wage deductions. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully, provide accurate records, and demonstrate transparent employment practices. Persistent non-compliance is treated as a serious breach.
Our reporting framework is designed to ensure that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers may report suspected modern slavery indicators through internal reporting channels, including line management, HR, compliance leadership, or designated whistleblowing mechanisms. Every report is reviewed confidentially and investigated proportionately. We make it clear that no one will suffer detriment for raising a concern in good faith.
Where an allegation is substantiated, we will take action that may include remediation, enhanced monitoring, supplier re-assessment, or termination of the business relationship. We also cooperate with relevant authorities where required. In addition, we keep records of reported concerns, outcomes, and any lessons learned so that we can strengthen our controls over time. This helps ensure that our modern slavery statement remains practical, credible, and effective.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and people management receive guidance on recognising warning signs and understanding escalation procedures. We also encourage awareness across the wider organisation so that responsibility for ethical conduct is shared. By embedding these expectations into our culture, we support a safer, more transparent working environment for everyone connected to Mayfair Removals.
Annual review is central to our governance. This statement, along with our policy framework and risk controls, is reviewed at least once every year to reflect changes in legislation, business activity, supplier risk, and industry best practice. The review is led by senior management and includes consideration of audit findings, reports received, training completion, and any corrective actions taken.
We believe that preventing modern slavery requires continuous improvement, vigilance, and strong ethical standards. Mayfair Removals will continue to refine its procedures, strengthen supplier oversight, and promote a culture in which human dignity is protected. Through this commitment, our modern slavery policy statement supports responsible growth and reinforces our duty to act with integrity in all aspects of business.
