In 2022, a study by the Centre for Retail Research found that shoplifting cost the British Economy £660,000,000 between 2021 – 2022. Theft impacts all retail businesses no matter how big or small you are which is why we understand at Vectra how important it is to have the right guard protecting your premises, staff and stock. We also understand the importance of Guards and other types of Security Operatives to have the best customer service skills as they are the first point of contact to your customers, a friendly smile and the power of hello can go a long way to making customers feel welcome and safe when visiting your business.
However, theft is not the only challenge that businesses are facing today, anti - social behavior and pickpockets can just be as damaging to your business.
Having knowledge on the different methods in deterring theft and pickpockets is a vital part of providing security to retail businesses all over the UK. Identifying suspicious behaviour or anything out of the ordinary is a skill that can be taught to anyone at anytime and can prevent the largest of incidents occurring just as well as small incidents that can have a major impact on your business.
Although it is great to deter theft and pickpockets who cause so much damage to your businesses and the industry. We have procedures and policies in processing shoplifters and ensure all Guards employed by Vectra understand the fundamental aspects of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 when it comes to processing shop-lifters as well as other relevant laws around CCTV such as GDPR 2018 and the Data Protection Act 1998.
At Vectra Security Solutions we understand that all businesses need to plan for the future, especially when it comes to Profit and Loss. We can assist with action or remediation plans to reduce Loss and Accelerate profit as well as ensuring your customers and visitors have the best possible experience when visiting.
