| Retail : Shrinking Losses at TJ Hughes>> |
| According to the Centre for Retail Research, shrinkage losses in the UK were equivalent to 1.59% of turnover during the financial year 2003-4 or £73.24 per person. Customer theft accounted for 44%, staff theft 36%, suppliers 5% and internal errors 15%. High though the total losses are, they are lower than the 1.69% of turnover the year before. However one retailer – TJ Hughes - is achieving reductions in shrinkage that make these national improvements appear paltry. CCTV is an essential part of their loss prevention strategy, as the system at their 65000 sq ft Watford store illustrates.
