The retail sector is a tricky one; you want to create a relaxing and enticing atmosphere for your customers so they feel comfortable browsing round your shop or outlet, however you can’t afford to neglect your security needs to avoid unwanted situations.

We believe you can’t offer a strong security presence without first understanding the environment you’re implementing it into. This is why our security guards are fit for a range of different situations and can adapt to all kinds of scenarios.

The thought of a typical retail security guard might conjure up images of a lazy man in a uniform strolling round a shopping mall twirling a torch but at Churchill Security, that isn’t how we roll. Although we appreciate the need to be discreet, we also know if a job’s worth doing it’s worth doing right. In line with this, we aim to make it as easy as possible for our customers to find use of our services.

What retail security guards services do we offer?

As part of a tailored retail security package, it’s up to the client what the security guards wear. This is just one of the variables that Churchill Security offers to deliver a stronger more desirable security service. Historically, we have successfully safeguarding anything from small boutique stores to large outlet stores. In smarter more upmarket shops such as jewellery stores, we have been able to provide security guards wearing a clean cut uniform with a blazer and black shoes however should there be a request for a guard fully uniformed we can also cater to this need as well as supplying an in store detective which is basically a security guard dressed in plain clothes.

Advantages of security guards within retail

If you hired Churchill Security for your retail security needs, you’d receive a highly qualified SIA licensed guard with vast experience in retail environments. Dual roles are something that we offer from our guards and this means that you can choose to have your guard split their time between patrolling the store and monitoring your CCTV system. In retail, the best thing a security guard can be is a visual deterrent. If you’re seen to have a reliable, strong security presence you can help yourself avoid countless undesirable situations from shoplifting to trespassing, all the while creating a safe shopping environment for your customers and staff alike.

According to frustrated British retailers, last year shoplifters made off with goods worth almost £400,000 every day.

The year-on-year cost of theft to high street stores up and down the country has soared from £99 million to £137 million.

Shoplifters are getting their hands on everything from TVs, computer games and clothes to perfumes worth a shelf loss of £375,342 every single day.

Retailers suspect organised gangs of thieves who steal more valuable hauls are responsible for the rising figure as the average price tag of goods stolen has also increased from £45 to £70.

The figures were based on a survey of 54 retailers who employ more than 1.3 million staff and represent almost half of Britain’s retail turnover.

Don’t let your business fall victim to theft, protect yourself with Churchill Security with the many Retail Security Services we provide.

Accused of robbing the £125 Craghopper coat from the city’s Sports Direct outlet, Kirkbride arrived at the court in style – by wearing the item he was accused of stealing.  After leaving it on a chair, staff summoned to deliver evidence notified police; resulting in Kirkbride surrendering the coat.

His defence solicitor Judith Birkett stated that her client “wouldn’t be so stupid” by appearing in court in the stolen outfit, but in the end, judge Jenny Farmer found him guilty of shoplifting.

Shop manager Deborah Robson explained: “I pointed the jacket out to the police officer and he seized it straight away.”

Kirkbride claimed to have bought the coat from a charity shop, and whilst it had rips from where the security tags had been taken out, he said: “It was damaged but I thought it was a bargain.”

Whilst the police had not been able to locate the outer layer of the two part coat, it was only until Kirkbride wore the waterproof to court that they noticed he was wearing the coat’s gortex outer layer.

The defendant said that he had taken the coat “from a friend’s house”, but refused to disclose the “friend’s” identity.

Crown prosecutor David Duke said: “You’re making this up as you go along, aren’t you?”

The security trade has experienced such massive setbacks, that even highly skilled security guards employed at Australia’s most busy airports are walking out of their jobs due to long shifts and low pay.

Researcher of terrorism and counter-terrorism issues at Monash University, Dr Luke Howe, explained that security officers are the first port of call at the sign of any emergency, and must be given the respect they deserve.

“You can have the best national security and intelligence agencies around, but it doesn’t mean anything if a tired and underpaid security guard isn’t doing their job and lets someone with a bomb through,” he stated.

“People who are low-paid and bored are hardly going to do a good job and from the perspective of counter-terrorism related security, they play a pivotal role.”

Morale is important in any situation, especially in the case of emergencies.  Our fully trained SIA licenced security guards offer a range of security services, including mobile patrols and retail security – for more information on how Churchill Security can benefit your business, call us today.
