I am currently leading a team of Profit Protection Specialists for our Supply Chain and Logistics function at Halfords.We provide an effective & efficient Profit Prevention service to the business through investigation, mitigation, and education. We help provide insight into critical areas of loss, as well as helping to monitor those areas to track progress and change. We work right the way through the supply chain, from the goods that enter the network to their receipt into store- and also look at the returns logistics function too. We have helped to improve many critical areas within the supply chain, including picking accuracy, and also delivery accuracy into stores. We identify and minimise the risks of financial losses, related to both internal and external areas, and use our data to provide insight into areas of focus. We aim to provide suitable risk reduction strategies by collaborating with all levels of the business. This includes working with the team on the floor, right the way up. We communicate our investigation outcomes and recommendations to all levels of the business, including working with our transport providers, whilst actively seeking feedback and seizing opportunities to learn and develop. The scope of our team has broadened massively since its inception, and we cover the whole of the UK and ROI- and we also look at the security aspects of our warehouses, including our off-site storage, and conduct site-specific security audits to ensure compliance. We also manage and monitor the security services and contracts within our whole retail estate, including (but not limited to) CCTV, manned guarding, intruder alarms, EAS gates, stocktakes, and cash services. This also includes monitoring and delivering the budget in this area too.
