Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Why we have this statement

Hudson Advisory is well under the £36 million turnover threshold that makes a modern slavery statement a legal requirement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We are publishing one anyway. Our clients trust us to bring people into their homes, their travel and their family gatherings, and they are entitled to know where we stand. A small firm should hold itself to the same standard as a large one on this.

This statement is voluntary. It sets out what we do and what we expect of others, and we will update it as the business grows.

Our business

Hudson Advisory is a private experience and hospitality advisory for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families and family offices. We design, plan and oversee retreats, gatherings, travel and events.

We keep our own team small. Most of the work on the ground is done by suppliers we recommend or contract: venues, villas and hotels, chefs and caterers, drivers and transport, security, event production, charter and aviation, household staff, and local agencies, in the UK and overseas.

Where the risk sits

Our direct risk is low. The risk is in the supply chain, and in our line of work it tends to show up in a few places:

•        Labour-intensive, seasonal or short-notice work such as hospitality, catering, cleaning and event crew.

•        Staffing agencies and subcontractors, where we may not see who is actually doing the work or on what terms.

•        Live-in and household staff in private residences, where workers can be isolated and dependent on one employer.

•        Engagements in countries with weaker labour protections or a heavy reliance on migrant workers.

Our position

We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking anywhere in our business or supply chain. We expect everyone working on one of our engagements, whoever employs them, to be there freely, to be paid lawfully and on time, to be treated with respect, and to be able to leave.

What we do

Choosing suppliers. Every supplier is assessed before we recommend or contract them. Our vendor questionnaire and scorecard include questions on labour practices: how staff are recruited, whether agencies or subcontractors are used, right-to-work checks, pay, working hours, accommodation, and whether anyone is charged recruitment fees or has their passport or ID held.

Contracts. Our supplier terms require suppliers to comply with the law, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015 where it applies to them. They must not use forced or compulsory labour, hold workers' identity documents, or charge workers to get a job. They must pass the same requirements to their own subcontractors, answer our reasonable questions, and accept that we may end the relationship if they breach these terms.

On engagements. We ask who is actually delivering the work. We pay attention to hours, living conditions and how people are treated, and we raise anything that looks wrong with the supplier straight away.

Our own people. Anyone we engage directly, including associates and contractors, is paid properly and on time and has the right to work where they are working.

Awareness. We brief the people who work with us on the warning signs and on what to do if they see one.

Warning signs we look for

•        Workers who seem afraid, withdrawn, or unwilling to speak freely.

•        Someone else handling their documents, phone or pay.

•        Very long hours without breaks or days off.

•        Cramped or poor accommodation provided by the employer.

•        Workers who do not know where they are, who they work for, or what they are paid.

•        A supplier who is unusually cheap, vague about who does the work, or reluctant to answer our questions.

If we find a problem

The safety of the person comes first. We will not confront anyone in a way that could put a worker at risk. Where someone may be in immediate danger, we will call the police on 999. Otherwise we will contact the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline (08000 121 700) or the relevant authority for the country concerned.

We will pause work with the supplier while we look into it, keep a written record, and tell the client what they need to know. If a supplier cannot show us that the problem is being put right, we will stop working with them.

Raising a concern

Anyone can raise a concern with us, including clients, suppliers, associates and members of the public, by contacting [email address]. We will treat it in confidence and we will not penalise anyone for raising a concern in good faith.

Review

We will review this statement every year, and whenever the business changes in a way that affects it, such as a move into new regions or a larger team. Next review: [date].
