Modern Slavery Statement
Last Reviewed: June 2026. Next Review: June 2027.
Introduction
Hirestone believes workforce integrity begins with ethical recruitment, lawful employment practices and respect for every worker. As a workforce partner supporting hospitality and logistics operators across London, Hirestone is committed to preventing modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking and worker exploitation across all workforce solutions delivered through our Employers, Hospitality and Logistics divisions.
​
We recognise that workforce standards, compliance and accountability are fundamental responsibilities within our business. Through rigorous workforce verification procedures, ethical recruitment practices and ongoing due diligence, we work to ensure that every individual engaged through Hirestone is treated fairly, lawfully and with dignity.
​
This statement outlines the steps we take to identify, prevent and address modern slavery risks within our business, workforce operations and supply chain relationships.
Our Commitment
Hirestone maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and all forms of worker exploitation. Protecting workforce welfare is a core part of our compliance framework and operational standards.
​
As a workforce partner serving hospitality and logistics operators, we recognise our responsibility to ensure workers are engaged through lawful, transparent and ethical recruitment practices. We are committed to maintaining workforce environments that promote fairness, respect, accountability and compliance with all relevant employment legislation.
​
Our leadership team actively supports policies and procedures designed to identify risks, strengthen workforce protections and uphold the highest standards of workforce integrity throughout our business operations.
​
 Risk Management & Supply Chain Due Diligence
Our supply chain management is built on honesty and thorough assessment. Every partner undergoes a vetting process to ensure they meet our high expectations for labor compliance and moral conduct. We prioritize working with vendors who share our focus on individual rights and visibility within the UK hospitality and logistics sectors.
​
Before entering into business relationships, we assess workforce partners and suppliers for legal compliance, labour standards and ethical recruitment practices. Where concerns are identified, additional due diligence may be undertaken before engagement proceeds.
Right to Work and Verification
Effective workforce compliance begins with robust verification procedures. Hirestone conducts comprehensive Right to Work and identity verification checks before any worker is introduced, deployed or engaged through our workforce solutions.
​
Verification procedures are completed in accordance with current UK legislation and Home Office guidance. These checks help ensure that individuals have the legal right to work, that documentation is valid and that workforce records are maintained accurately and securely.
​
Our verification process forms an important part of our wider commitment to workforce compliance, helping protect workers, clients and operational environments from exploitation, unlawful employment practices and workforce-related risks.
Ethical Workforce Practices
• Workers retain control of their own identity documents.
• Employment is entered into voluntarily.
• Workers receive clear information regarding pay, hours and working conditions.
• No recruitment fees are charged to workers.
• Concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation.
Partner Expectations
Hirestone seeks to work with clients, workforce partners and suppliers who share our commitment to lawful employment practices, workforce welfare and ethical business conduct. We expect all organisations we engage with to operate in compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to maintain safe, lawful and respectful working environments. Where significant concerns arise regarding worker treatment, compliance standards or exploitation risks, Hirestone reserves the right to review, suspend or discontinue commercial relationships where appropriate.
​
We expect all hospitality operators, logistics operators and workforce partners we support to uphold the same standards of ethical recruitment, compliance and worker welfare.
Reporting Concerns
Openness is a cornerstone of our compliance strategy. We provide protected, private avenues for workers and stakeholders to flag any signs of exploitation or improper behavior. Our senior leadership investigates every report with immediate priority, guaranteeing that those who speak up are fully shielded from any reprisal.
​
​All concerns are treated confidentially and investigated appropriately.
Training and Awareness
We provide specialized education for all team members responsible for staffing to recognize and mitigate signs of modern slavery. By encouraging a mindset of alertness and continuous learning, we enable our employees to protect the integrity of our recruitment processes and maintain our high level of organizational responsibility.
Review & Accountability
Hirestone reviews this Modern Slavery Statement periodically to ensure it remains aligned with legal requirements, industry developments and business operations. Responsibility for maintaining and implementing this statement sits with company leadership.
