This is mostly through the sharing of information from known shoplifters\/fraud gangs that share information through WhatsApp groups. This reflects the changes in my role over the years and how loss prevention has evolved from traditional shoplifting to fraud through various payment platforms (including payment by mobile phones).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I asked Evans about the highlight of his career and not surprisingly (being the humble person he is) he says: \u201cthe recognition and being given the opportunity by Assist and Dior in my current position. Also, during COVID, it was a very demanding time whereby we managed to fulfil online orders\/deliveries and retain a full complement of staff across all locations. Everyone pulled together under what were difficult circumstances, and I was immensely proud. I also enjoy helping others in their career development and seeing them progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What advice would Evans give someone wanting to get into security? \u201cYou must have the love and the passion for the job and what you do, and you must also have integrity.\u201d And how would he like to progress in his role? He replies with a smile: \u201cTo be a partner within the company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And why not? Evans has made the switch from high street supermarkets and worked his way up to luxury retail management. He is one of the good ones, and no doubt a great ambassador for the business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Troy Hewitt, CEO at Assist Services Group, says of \u201cEvans is a very dedicated hardworking person who shies away from the limelight and doesn\u2019t like to take credit for the work he has done. He has had many successes over the years with changing people\u2019s perceptions of security as he has (deservedly) gained promotions leading to his current position in the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evans is a trustworthy, honest, loyal person who I hope I will continue to work with for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Followed with equal sentiment from Evans\u2019 client, Geoffrey Bailey (Dior UK FM Manager): \u201cI have not met a more knowledgeable retail security professional. His breadth of experience in luxury retail makes him an impressive operator, with a skill for handling any level of situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graham Bassett<\/p>\n<p
