The retail sector often brings with it one of the most diverse ranges of premises and buildings, with corner shops and boutiques requiring a much more different approach that shopping centres.

Plus, with our active and expertly trained store detectives, you can rest assured your customers stay safe, your profit margins stay high, and your shrinkage stays low.
The surveillance and monitoring component is a crucial aspect of any retail security package. At Churchill, our state-of-the-art technology, along with our advanced 24/7/365 Communications Centre, ensures complete coverage of your entire site, featuring multiple monitoring points, hard-wearing CCTV cameras and high-definition imaging.

Securing your premises and ensuring peace of mind are the key drivers behind our key holding and alarm response package here at Churchill Support Services. This service adds an additional layer of reassurance to complement your existing security measures, allowing you to maintain control over the ongoing safety of your shop.
As part of this package, we securely store duplicate keys for your property at both an undisclosed off-site location and on-site. Our round-the-clock availability ensures that we can offer locking and unlocking services tailored to your specific preferences, plus our swift response to alarms ensures you always maintain control over any issues that may arise.
Our access control solutions for retail premises encompass a wide range of options, from ID badges and fobs to advanced fingerprint scanning and facial recognition. This approach provides not only a technologically advanced and comprehensive method for securing your premises but also serves as an early warning system for unauthorized visitors or trespassers.

There’s no doubt all us come into contact with retailers at least once a week. Whether that’s in our weekly shop, buying presents ahead of a birthday, or simply picking up these forgotten few bits, it’s all a testament to the ubiquitous nature of the retail sector. That ever-presence, however, is often to the detriment of businesses in that industry.
The British Retail Consortium’s 2023 report found that the average cost of retail crime was a startling £1.04 billion a year, with more than 8 million instances of theft in the last year alone. While larger businesses will bear the brunt of those numbers, small businesses suffer equally, with the Association of Convenience Stores estimating that theft from small stores costs an average of £1,066.
Yes we can! The expansive skillset of our expert security officers, coupled with our extensive 27 year history, ensures we’re able to adapt to the myriad challenges that securing the retail sector can bring. This includes:
Every security officer we employ has complete accreditation and certification from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and has undergone an extensive vetting process that spans no less than 5 years. This rigorous procedure stands as a pillar of our steadfast dedication to providing top-tier services of the highest quality.
With the retail sector being a fundamental of our high streets and shopping experience, we understand how imperative it is that we provide officers who can take a proactive role in securing your premises.
Our custom-built packages mean we can’t offer a specific timeframe for our installations. Nevertheless, we take great pride in our exceptional efficiency and our commitment to delivering a flexible and professional service.
Our expert team specialises in completing CCTV installations swiftly, with complex projects typically finished within a week, and smaller installations often accomplished in just a day. This efficiency is key factor in all of our bespoke CCTV solutions for the maritime industry and aligns with our People First approach to security.
Each of our security packages is thoughtfully crafted to accommodate your requirements, and the unique challenges of the retail sector. This involves taking into account factors like your budget, specific needs, and the size of your site. While this personalised approach means we can’t provide a standardised pricing model, it guarantees that our services align perfectly with your specific needs.
