Morrisons, one of the UK’s largest supermarket chains with over 100 years of history, serving 9 million customers weekly, partnered with Safer Group to strengthen in-store and external security across their UK locations. Safer Group deployed a combination of Safer POD® S1, S4, and S7 units to address high-theft locations, vandalism, and antisocial behaviour, delivering a comprehensive and scalable retail security solution.
The objective was to provide a tailored, multi-layered security system capable of protecting Morrisons stores and surrounding areas, reducing theft and vandalism while maintaining a safe environment for customers and staff.
Morrisons needed:
In-store deterrence to combat theft, particularly of alcohol.
External monitoring during evenings to secure car parks and store perimeters.
Targeted solutions for anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping at high-risk locations.
24/7 monitoring to enable rapid incident response.
Several Morrisons stores faced persistent security issues, including high levels of in-store theft, vandalism, and antisocial behaviour in underground car parks. The challenge was to implement solutions that were effective, scalable across multiple locations, and minimally disruptive to day-to-day retail operations.
Ensuring coverage both inside stores and across external areas, while integrating into existing operations, required a flexible, rapid-deployment approach. In addition, the system needed to provide clear evidence for enforcement and internal investigation, with robust monitoring and reporting in place.
We have been utilising Safer Group's cutting-edge security solutions across our retail spaces. The Safer POD® S1s are deployed inside our stores to support a reduction in incidents and improved safety. The Safer POD® S7s are strategically positioned outside our stores, ensuring a safer environment for both our customers and colleagues… I have absolute confidence in recommending their products to any business seeking reliable, state-of-the-art security solutions.
Safer Group delivered a customised security package tailored for Morrisons’ retail environment. This included Safer POD® S1 units installed inside stores to act as a visible deterrent and reduce incidents of theft. Safer POD® S7 units were positioned outside stores to monitor perimeters during evenings, reducing vandalism and antisocial behaviour. Safer POD® S4 units were deployed in underground car parks and problem areas to tackle fly-tipping and other high-risk issues.
