As proud sponsor of the Convenience Store Zero Tolerance campaign, last night saw Loomis attend this years Convenience Retail Awards held at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel.
Loomis were delighted to both attend and present the award for Zero Tolerance on the night which is an opportunity for the convenience sector to recognise outstanding achievement.
The CRA Zero Tolerance award was presented to Lesley & William Brown, who run Frankmarsh Stores in Barnstaple, Devon. The award stood as recognition to their commitment to the local community and their stand against local crime.
The number of thefts from shops rose by a third in a single year with an incident occurring nearly every minute, 24 hours a day - while incidents of violence and abuse against shop staff doubled.
As we move into the peak season for attacks on cash delivery vehicles, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) is launching a set of security guidelines to help retailers and couriers to thwart robbers.
