NPB Security in Retail Demand

NPB Security in Retail Demand

 It has been a busy month for the team at NPB Security with several retail stores seeking our static guard services.

We’re proud to be the security provider of choice at Villains and Rebel Sport in Carousel, watching over stock, staff and customers within the busy shopping precinct.

Luxury watch brand TAG Heuer, has also employed the services of NPB Security at their exclusive Wesley Quarter store.

NPB continues to expand our reach with current clients Rebel Sport, IGA,  Woolworths, BWS and Dan Murphy’s, seeing us supply static guard services to another 15 stores across the Perth metro area.

TRAINING

 Specialised training for the retail sector sets NPB apart, with our guards undertaking both theoretical and practical training to ensure they are prepared to deal with incidents specific to the industry. We are currently running these sessions weekly, given the influx of retail acquisitions and the growing number of guards required in the sector.

Understanding the unique requirements of every business, we have tailored the content to ensure it is relevant to each client. Training for staff at BWS and Dan Murphy’s focuses on identification checks and the prevention of minors purchasing alcohol, which is not relevant for a clothing store for example.

EXPERIENCE

NPB Security understand the importance of providing a first-class experience for the customer. Our guards demonstrate outstanding customer service to ensure shoppers feel at ease while our client’s assets are kept safe. Creating a safe and welcoming environment for both staff and customers is a focus for our skilled personnel.

NPB Security respond quickly, using tact and discretion to ensure maximum safety and minimal disruption. More than just a static guard, our skilled team are able to perform first aid, verbal and non-verbal negotiation, and are trained to alert and work closely with the police.

PREVENTION

Shoplifting and theft remain one of the biggest challenges facing store owners, with subsequent loss in revenue and danger to the safety of staff causing headaches for retailers. The presence of a guard often acts as the biggest deterrent against crime, with shoplifters more likely to target stores without guards present.
NPB Security is pleased to be offering our expertise to the teams at TAG Heuer, Rebel Sport and Villains Carousel. We look forward to seeing you on your next shopping trip to these stores.

NPB Security Partner with Perth Heat

NPB Security is delighted to partner with Perth Heat for the 2021/2022 Summer of Baseball.

Perth Heat was founded in 1989 as one of the Australian Baseball League’s foundation teams and have gone on to become one of the country’s most successful sporting clubs.

Providing security guards for games and events held at Empire Ballpark, Perth Heat CEO Steven Nelkovski said it is great to have NPB Security onboard.

“It’s a partnership that we’ve had for 10 years, and one we are extremely proud of,” Steven said.

Attending a Perth Heat game is a fantastic experience, with the perfect environment for the whole family.

“A day at the ballpark is unique, we have a nice American theme that runs through our game day experience,” said Steven.

“It’s different to other sporting events, for example if the ball goes over the fence and you catch it, you get to keep it.

“It is a wonderful family friendly environment and the menu is a little bit different too. We like to bring through an American style of flavour to replicate what you get at Minor League ballparks in America.”

It is shaping up to be a massive summer for the Heat on and off the pitch, as they look to go one step further after finishing runners up in 2020/21, as well as celebrating the successful history of the club.

“The Perth Heat will celebrate 70 years since our first Claxton Shield Championship win in 1952. We will have a lot of promotion around the success we’ve had as an organisation and celebrate all of the great champions of the club and the state,” Steven said.

NPB Security Director, David Barrett said he was proud to continue the long running partnership.

“This was one of our first sporting partnerships when we established NPB in 2010, so we are very pleased to continue the tradition this year. It is also fantastic to see what the club are doing in the sustainability space and we’re looking forward to seeing these initiatives in action.

Perth Heat has some ambitious goals with a desire to be Australia’s most sustainable baseball team. Their objectives include a 50% reduction in plastic by 2025; moving towards a 100% digital ticketing system and playing their games in Australia’s first renewable energy powered ballpark.

David said his company recognises the important role sport has in improving the health and wellbeing of all who participate regardless of age, ability, background or gender.

“NPB Security is a huge advocate for sport, understanding the significant and positive impact it has on the community. Communities are strengthened when we come together to play sport and build a sense of belonging.”

For those interested in attending a match in the 2021/22 season, Steven provided this famous quote:
