Modern Day Slavery Policy
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Introduction from the Managing Director
We are committed to continually improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking.
Modern slavery is the illegal exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain, often in horrendous conditions which the victim cannot escape. Businesses have a key part to play in the effort to tackle this crime and protect vulnerable workers from exploitation and is an area we take extremely seriously, being aware of the possibility of our services being abused by traffickers.
We implement stringent procedures in relation to the hiring of employees and temporary staff, as well as where we employ the services of third party organisations, in order to alert us of any signs of modern slavery.
Below we set out the steps we take to ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking occurring within our organisation or its supply chains.
Our business
We are a platform for facilitation of temporary shift work, providing a bespoke outsourced staffing solution to some of the worlds most prestigious brands.
Our supply chains
Our supply chains include, but are not limited to, sourcing temporary staff for our clients, as well as for our own direct hospitality services. We expect our suppliers and potential suppliers to aim for high ethical standards and to operate in an ethical, legally-compliant and professional manner by adhering to our Supplier Code of Conduct. We also expect our suppliers to promote similar standards in their own supply chain.
