heavily in security devices in the past five years. David Williams, director of risk management at UK Mail, says it has enough secure storage capacity to hod more than 600 laptops at any one time: -We want customers to understand their goods are safe with us, proving that we do care."
The firm has phased out the majority of security guards and instead installed more cameras, as wet as introducing smoke-screen technology, which limits an intruder's vision, and introduced White noise alarms.
"We have also removed the potential for human error by guards who may fall asleep or call in sick, We are in a position now where we have 24-hour security every day of the year." Williams claims.
