Modern Slavery

Stirling Hunter is an independent professional services firm providing executive search, specialist recruitment, leadership, organisational strategy, and human resource consulting.

We conduct business fairly, honestly, transparently and in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory obligations. We expect everyone who works for, or with, Stirling Hunter to adopt the same approach and to maintain the highest standards of ethical business behaviour.

Stirling Hunter does not tolerate, permit, or engage in bribery, corruption, or improper payments of any kind in our business dealings with either public officials or people in the private sector.

We are committed to reducing negative human rights impacts and oppose modern slavery in all forms within our business and supply chains. We select suppliers that have the same values as us, including a commitment to the highest professional standards and ethical conduct in their business dealings.

This statement covers the financial year 2025 and is made voluntarily, in support of the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Stirling Hunter is a small and medium sized enterprise (SME) with an extremely manageable employee structure. Our business employs professionally qualified and skilled people, all are UK based.

Internally, we communicate openly and transparently and seek to ensure that our work respects others. We treat people fairly and ensure employees are earning a living wage, working safely, encourage constant ethical and personal development and provide a full Employee Assistance Programme to support the health and wellbeing of our people.

We train all staff in matters relating to modern slavery and have procedures in place to enable employees to raise concerns about wrongful behaviour within our business, including in relation to ethical standards, without fear of reprisal.

Due to the nature of our services, we have a limited supply chain made up of professional advisors, technology services companies and office suppliers. We have reviewed our supply chain and believe our risk for violations of the Modern Slavery Act remain low.

This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors who will review and update it annually.
