Training Testimonials
“The impact of Crime Prevention training has been phenomenal to daily operations. Taking on-board learnings we have seen a huge increase in the recovery of stock. Staff have grown in confidence in approaching suspects and deterring them from the store.” Nicola and the Footlocker Manchester team
“Our staff found the Counterfeit Currency training really engaging. Store managers all commented that it was interactive and informative, and highlighted a lot of areas never considered before. A very useful session.” Leanne Lawlor, Security Manager, Selfridges
“Counterfeit Currency training proved a very effective way of refreshing till staff who have been handling credit card payments for some time. Staff were kept interested, and learned lots of simple tips. The training is also a great reassurance tool for managers.” Billy Fisher, Security Manager, Harvey Nichols
