Retail Loss Prevention Team of the Year Award for Compass Group UK & Ireland
Compass Group UK & Ireland has been named "Loss Prevention Team of the Year" at the Retail Fraud Awards.
The Retail Fraud Awards showcase and celebrate the very best in loss prevention, people, processes, strategy and technology. The event marks a culmination of work throughout the year, acknowledging top quality individual and team performances, innovative new products and winning industrial strategies.
Compass Group UK & Ireland's Profit Protection Team were awarded the title of LP Team of the Year - Instore after a very strong annual performance. The continued focus on unit reviews of their compliance to Profit Protection procedures and the ongoing implementation of a thorough plan to improve loss prevention, guaranteed that Compass Group UK & Ireland impressed the judges sufficiently to take the title.
The challenge facing Compass' Profit Protection Team is that the business generates a combined annual turnover of £1.8 billion across seven different industry sectors. The team identified the need to engage with key stakeholders to ensure the importance of profit protection was embedded across the business. This was done by devising multiple channels to provide the required training and guidance and creating a culture of Profit Protection.
Damien Barne, Profit Protection Manager for Business & Industry commented: "I'm really proud that we won the award for Profit Protection Team of the Year. We work really hard in the Profit Protection Team to train and coach our people at all levels of the business to identify risk and ways to reduce loss, it's brilliant to be recognised for our efforts with an industry award of this calibre."
