Preventing Crime and Improving Retail Security

The surge in shoplifting, now considered an epidemic, demands immediate attention from retailers facing a 25% increase in crime over the past year.

8th December 2023

With the police recording over 365,000 theft offences against businesses, valued at £7.9bn through 2023, the need for proactive measures is pressing.

Employees, responsible for 40% of theft value in UK retailers, are at the frontline of this security challenge. To combat this, Facility Managers play a pivotal role in deploying practical security solutions, including surveillance systems, visible security presence, and anti-theft devices.

While external partnerships are valuable, internal initiatives are essential in this fast-evolving retail security landscape. Facility Managers are crucial in fostering a safer and more secure environment, ensuring sustained profitability and staff morale.
