Driving a revolution in collaboration. Connecting local, regional and national efforts to reduce business crime across the UK.

Our Connect service provides BIDs, BCRPs, shopping centres and retail parks with a range of services and products aimed to support the delivery of their business crime reduction operation.

If it’s additional intelligence we’ve got it. If it’s support in promoting your benefits and securing investment we’ll give it. If it’s help tackling business crime together with ongoing operational guidance or compliance, we will support you. You may be starting up, we’re here!

Through our data pool, intelligence quality and national retail reach, we will ensure you are given all the support possible to sustain or establish your place across the business crime reduction landscape.

You may find that your members and tenants engage very well on a local store level, but when it comes to member renewal or ballot the engagement and support you need at a senior level is not easy to find. You may have local issues around offending or crime prevention tactics within a store and have exhausted all local contacts and solutions and are finding it difficult to engage with the retailer at a national or regional level.

Your organisation may be frustrated with the absence of incident report submissions from your retailers which impacts the quality and relevance of the information you disseminate out across your local network. Getting engagement from stores to view alerts featuring active offenders and trends that you send out to them may also be a challenge.

At NBCS, we recognise these challenges you face and by working with major national retailers at all levels, we are able to provide your organisation with the engagement and
promotion you need to deliver an effective and well supported business crime reduction service.
