Inspiration

The AP/LP industry has traditionally been dominated by men and is still largely male-dominated. In more recent years though, more and more women have been excelling and making a positive impact in the profession.

Being already established in the US, Australia, and New Zealand with the world’s best and largest retailers, including Walmart, Woolworths, and Coles, Auror now has additional offices in London, ready to address the £5 billion retail crime problem across the UK.

We caught up with Chris to learn more about why he joined Auror, how he hopes to continue contributing to the industry in his new role, and another great passion he works on outside of AP/LP.

As we scale, the work required to ensure Auror is a great place for women to do their best work will remain a priority and we want to show improvements in how we celebrate our women and the incredible work they do.

Ensuring associate and guest safety during the pandemic has been a huge challenge for the industry, and as usual, retail professionals have risen to meet it.
