Darren Conway has joined Lodge Service as Group Strategy Director, with responsibility for business operations in the UK and Europe. He has held senior positions in loss prevention, health and safety and trading standards operations with Fraser Group, Superdry, TJX, Debenhams and other retailers.
Darren has worked with the National Business Crime Solution (NBCS), Business Crime Partnerships (BCRP) and Business Improvement District (BID) initiatives, to align the police and the business community and help tackle business crime at local and national levels. He says he retains this focus in his new role with Lodge Service, to help security users to work together to combat the risks to their businesses:
“So many businesses and security suppliers are focused on their own issues and strategy, they may fail to share intelligence, risks or services, where there can be major benefits for everyone. From experience, this is usually down to a lack of trust; crime prevention is too often an exercise in displacing the risk to a neighbouring business or area.
“Lodge Service has a 100-year history as a trusted security partner. By working collaboratively we can update the industry’s toolbox of security services and reduce the risks from crime significantly.”
