1. We Don’t Just Cut Staff—We Optimise Them

Slashing security headcount might save money short-term, but it often leads to increased incidents, unhappy tenants, and rising insurance costs.

Anchor’s Solution:

We implement blended deployment models—on-site teams during peak times, backed by remote monitoring like our eGuarding^® platform when footfall is lower. We also cross-train staff so they can handle security, customer service, and basic tech support—maximising value per head.

2. We Use Tech to Do the Heavy Lifting

Many centres miss out on cost-saving tech because it feels complex or expensive.

Anchor’s Solution:

We deploy cloud-based CCTV, battery-powered smart cameras, and AI analytics to improve visibility and reduce manual workloads. Our tech-led approach lowers staffing costs while strengthening incident response and coverage.

3. We Prevent Problems Before They Start

Reactive security is expensive. Prevention is powerful.

Anchor’s Solution:

We carry out regular threat assessments, use predictive analytics to identify high-risk patterns, and support our teams with welfare initiatives to keep them sharp, motivated, and reliable.

The Bottom Line?

We don’t just provide security—we deliver cost-effective risk management tailored for the pressures shopping centres face today. By combining smart people, smart tech, and proactive planning, Anchor keeps your centre secure without breaking the bank.
