With budgets in the tens, and sometimes the hundreds of millions, retail loss prevention leaders are constantly on the look-out for new ways to both measure the return on investment, and then optimise that investment through innovation.

In previous meetings, the group have shared learnings on the benefit of extra store associate hours Vs guards in convenience retailing, the adoption of a new approach to guarding by using community based resources, they have also explored the hybrid guard idea from Finland and then discussed the challenges and opportunities of managing a hybrid operation, with in-house & external guards.

In this meeting, we will hear from retailers and how they are working through these innovations, and supporting their business with new strategies for guarding that can improve the return on investment.

Expect to hear new perspectives and ideas from your peers, and perhaps reassurances that you are wrestling the same dilemmas, broadly the same way!

This working group meeting is for retailers, producers and academics only
