There’s less than one month to go until the ACS Safe and Responsible Retailing Conference, taking place on Tuesday 5th March at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.
Safe + Responsible 2024 is a brand new event in the ACS calendar, bringing together experts in crime prevention, responsible retailing and product regulation to equip you with the tools and advice you need to navigate these issues and adapt your businesses for the future.
With big changes in progress in the vaping and tobacco market, particularly following the announcement of a ban of disposable vapes and new rules on the recycling of vaping products, this event is more important than ever in providing key advice on how retailers can mitigate the impact of these changes.
The event will also feature the launch of the 2024 Crime Report, revealing the extent of crimes like shop theft, abuse and fraud against the convenience sector and sending a clear message to both central Government and local Police and Crime Commissioners about the support that retailers need.
Confirmed speakers at Safe + Responsible 2024 include:
· Nick Fisher, Chairman, Facewatch
· Helen Clayton, Head of Crime and Security, Sainsbury’s
· Philip LeShirley, Surrey and Buckinghamshire Trading Standards
· Chris Kelly, Phoenix
· Ben Selvaratnam, Freshfields Market
· Patrick Holdaway, National Business Crime Centre
· Dave McCrossen, USDAW
· Jasmine O’Meara, West Midlands Police
· Alan Twells, The Office for Product Safety and Standards
· Bubbly Sandhu, The Office for Product Safety and Standards
The main programme will be followed by a retailer-only session where you can ask the ACS team any questions you may have about the changing legislation, the vaping market, or any other topics discussed throughout the day.
