Retail

The Retail sector is one of the most vulnerable industries to various types of crimes, such as shoplifting, robbery, vandalism, fraud and violence. According to the British Retail Consortium, the total cost of retail crime in the UK was £1.3 billion in 2019, an increase of 16% from the previous year. The impact of retail crime is not only financial, but also psychological, as it affects the safety and well-being of staff and customers.

One of the most effective ways to prevent and deter retail crime is to hire security guards. They can respond to emergencies, assist customers and enforce rules and regulations.
