  • Two things. 1 If your contract has a mobility clause, you may have to accept the move or resign - of course you can still challenge it, working part-time etc, but not necessarily going to win.
    2. If it does not then any move has to be "reasonable" and you can clearly state that 30 miles is too far and you want redundancy.

    You just have to be aware that the company may not deem 30 miles unreasonable
    Always ask ACAS

    Might depend on the nature of those 30 miles. 30 mile train ride to an office next door to the train station is a different prospect to 30 miles up and down mountains on "B" roads.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

    I think you will find mobilty clauses do not rule out reasonable.
