SECURING RETAIL
THAT NEVER SLEEPS

Retail losses cost the UK billions every year. Stop reacting to shrinkage and incidents. Start preventing them.

The Context

Retail crime has never been harder.

Organised retail crime on the rise

Coordinated theft gangs target high-value goods across multiple locations, overwhelming lone security teams.

Staff abuse and violence increasing

Frontline retail staff face daily confrontations without adequate support, threatening welfare and staff retention.

Shrinkage going undetected and unreported

Small, frequent losses are rarely reported,leaving patterns invisible and prevention impossible.

Growing pressure for compliance documentation

Insurers, loss prevention auditors, and senior leadership now demand auditable evidence of security protocols and incident response.

£4.2bn Total cost

Retail crime & prevention combined — up from £3.3bn the previous year

55,000 per day

Theft incidents over 20 million in a single year, up from 16 million

+340% since 2020

Rise in violence & abuse — now 2,000+ incidents daily, 70 involving a weapon

The Problem

Why traditional security costs you more.

Static guards and passive CCTV create a "Documentation Model" — recording losses after they happen, not preventing them.

Shrinkage You Can't See

You pay for guards stationed at doors while organised gangs walk out through blind spots, burning budget that could prevent losses.

Coverage Gaps at Peak Times

Static rosters mean you're under-resourced during Saturday rushes, sale events, and the Christmas trading period when risk is highest.

No Pattern Learning

Without data, the same hotspots get hit repeatedly. Incidents aren't analysed — so the same mistakes happen week after week.
