ROUNDTABLE SECURITY

PROFESSIONAL JEWELLER | July 2020 professionaljeweller.com16

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

With the government providing a long list of rules for jewellery retailers to abide by, store owners would be forgiven for not considering the impact coronavirus might have on crime.

Security, however, is something that must be taken seriously, with the global pandemic posing new risk factors for retailers, especially those stocking high value goods like jewellers.

For this reason, Professional Jeweller partnered with Warrior Doors to host a virtual roundtable with industry leaders before stores reopened in England, Scotland and Wales last month.

Here’s a glimpse of the discussion that took place (please note this conversation happened the week before stores reopened in England)…

In general, how are you all feeling about stores reopening next week?AS: Good, I don’t see any issues. Other retailers and other businesses are open and I think we need to go back to some sort of reality and open up. SM: For us it is about reassuring the staff — especially as a lot of the team are coming off furlough. We have been lucky enough to have been in the stores. We’ve been prep-ping things and we’ve been able to get used to the changes. So for us the challenge is making sure our staff feel secure and happy to get back to work.

As jewellers return to the high street, Professional Jeweller partnered with high-security doors manufacturer, Warrior Doors, to virtually gather

industry leaders to discuss how they can remain vigilant and protect staff and stores during post-lockdown trading.

SECURITY ROUNDTABLE

professionaljeweller.com July 2020 | PROFESSIONAL JEWELLER 17

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

CB: From our stand point there is a real positivity about coming back to work. The teams have been well looked after while they have been off and they are as keen as we are actually. All bar the devolved countries will open on Monday (June 15), we are just going to open all stores and then see how the land lies overall in terms of traffic and conversion. My confidence is taken from the performance of online since we’ve been closed — it’s been pretty amazing, particularly in luxury watch-es, but in jewellery too. I think there is definitely a desire for a return to retail and it’ll be less traffic but higher con-version. So we’re very positive about it and our teams are too, and as Stuart said our focus has been on assuring the staff and our clients that we’ve done everything we possibly can and more to make sure our stores are safe for them to return to.

Are you planning to open all hours and all staff, or will busi-ness be scaled back?CB: We are running reduced hours. Ideally we want to run one shift a day. And we’ve gone through every single store and looked at the maximum oc-cupancy for each store based on seated areas and branded spaces, and said — that’s our limit. We’ve coupled that up with the number of clients, with the number of team members who could possibly then be serving them. We have then allocated jobs for everybody else, whether that be a greeter or a cleaner. So we’ve calculated the amount of peo-ple we need to run the store initially and then we’ll just review it week on week. We are kind of running it like a hotel would run it — in terms of here’s the number of slots you’ve got in a day and what’s your occupancy levels against those slots, and if we need more we’ll look to open longer hours.

SM: Exactly the same for us. As we’re concentrating on one shift everybody will be on reduced hours. We are im-plementing appointment-only at the beginning, which again is just so we can control the amount of people in store and also so we’re not having VIP clients queuing outside. So we’re trying to manage it with appointments and like

Craig says, we’ll just monitor it daily and everything is set up so we can flick a switch and go to queuing if we need to or open for longer.

AS: Same — we’re coming back on skeleton staff and we will be doing appointments-only from the begin-ning, with reduced hours. We always generally opened 9 to 5, but we will open 10 to 4 and then re-evaluate as we go. We will have a maximum of two customers in the store and we will have someone monitoring the door all the time to make sure that the custom-ers will be communicated with before entering. We will be dealing with both sides of people’s attitudes — there will be customers who won’t care about all this and there will be customers that will be very cautious about this, so we have to ensure that we communicate with everyone.

Obviously the government has given you lots of guidelines to abide by, but I just wondered whether you had given security much thought — particularly how Covid-19 might have an im-pact on crime in the UK?CB: We will be maintaining our security people and we have done

throughout lockdown, particularly in London. But security around our stores and personnel-wise will be back when the stores reopen and they’ve all been trained the same ways as our employees. One of our biggest concerns is probably more around snatches as that’s become a bigger issue for us over the last couple of years then our stores physically getting broken into. And one of our big concerns is if people start wearing face masks we will have a more difficult situation trying to identify them if they run off with a piece of stock. So we have trained our people and if people wish to come into our stores with a face mask, we are going to ask them to remove it just for a couple of seconds so we can get a good picture of them and then they can put it back on. We just want to make sure that our cameras can pick up their face. We’ve also gone through the general security rules again with our people who have been out of stores for nearly 12 weeks — you know these things just get forgot-ten about or people get a bit lax, or if there’s less people in the stores they might think there’s less risk but there might actually be more.

SM: One of the other reasons for us going to appointments was so we could
