Home Bargains UK partners with Auror for colleague safety

Home Bargains UK is announcing its investment into colleague and customer safety with its partnership with Auror. This partnership will see Home Bargains join other leading UK retailers on the crime reporting platform that securely and safely connects retailers and UK Policing, using technology for good to reduce the impacts of retail crime in our communities. 

This strategic collaboration will allow Home Bargains to provide its colleagues with the right solutions to improve operations, customer experience, and most importantly, colleague safety. The platform will give Home Bargains the capability to quickly report crime occurring in its stores, communicate that crime with nearby stores, and share that information with UK Policing.

Spokesperson, Home Bargains UK says:‍

"The Auror platform's robust capabilities align with our mission to offer the best shopping experience to our customers while ensuring the safety of our colleagues. We've been eager to integrate the power of Auror to improve overall safety, efficiency, security, and customer service, and the platform delivered within the first few weeks. We’ve been able to focus on nearly 300 repeat offenders who were causing significant violence and loss in our stores, deterring them from further offending quickly and efficiently, while keeping our team and customers safe.”

The partnership comes at a time when the retail industry is rapidly evolving, with businesses seeking innovative ways to keep up with market trends, customer expectations, and prioritising employee safety. With the Auror platform on board, Home Bargains is well-positioned to navigate these changes and continue its legacy of providing quality products at great prices while maintaining a safe environment for its staff.

Mark Gleeson, VP UK & Europe says:‍

“Auror is delighted to be partnering across the UK with Home Bargains knowing that this will increase safety for their colleagues, customers and the local community. Auror is using technology for good with robust privacy safeguards to stop crime across communities across the UK. The results in the first few months have been exceptional and we look forward to the continued positive impact that Home Bargains is having on the local community.”

The Auror platform is an industry-leading solution for retailers, utilised globally in over 45,000 retail, convenience & forecourts stores. Home Bargains UK believes that this partnership will enable the brand to continue to provide the best service to its loyal and valued customers, as well as ensure the safety of its colleagues.
