Each year, the winter holiday season is one of the busiest periods for almost every industry. With Christmas shopping and deliveries taking over most businesses from November to January, it’s even more crucial to ensure your premises are safe and secure during this time.
With increased levels of stock and staff activity throughout the festive season, the last thing any business owner should want is to leave their premises vulnerable after hours. That’s why every business should have reliable shutters that can withstand day-to-day demands.
At Roller Shutter UK, we provide a wide range of roller shutter services to help commercial and industrial property owners secure their premises. As experts in this field, we know how important it is to create a strong line of defence with a robust roller shutter barrier.
So, if you’re looking for ways to strengthen your storefront security and ensure your operations run smoothly this Christmas, here’s how our roller shutter solutions can benefit your business through to the New Year and beyond.
Enhance security to deter crime
Everyone knows that Christmas means many businesses are handling larger quantities of stock and more frequent deliveries, which makes them bigger targets for criminals. When businesses are closed, it’s vital to have strong shutters in place to help prevent break-ins.
This is especially important for businesses that may be closed completely between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, as any premises left unattended for longer than usual could otherwise attract unwanted attention from would-be thieves.
While a secure shutter should be enough of a visual deterrent, unfortunately, some criminal gangs use vehicles to attempt to break shutters. So, if your business is at risk of ram-raids, it’s also a good idea to install anti-ram barriers and safety posts for extra protection.
Protect stock and window displays
Not only do metal roller shutters create a physical barrier to prevent forced entry, but as they keep windows covered while the premises are empty of people, they also ensure opportunists don’t spot goods or equipment inside and attempt to vandalise window displays.
This allows retailers to invest in their seasonal window displays and maximise sales during the day, with the reassurance that their storefront will be protected by the shutter overnight or throughout longer closures during the holidays.
Whether it’s a shop or a warehouse, if you want to operate at full capacity for Christmas while protecting higher stock levels and maintaining a professional-looking frontage, our roller shutter systems can help protect your property against vandalism and winter weather damage.
Keep staff and delivery teams safe
For many businesses, the greater demand for goods in the run-up to Christmas also leads to extended operating hours, with a faster flow of deliveries and increased pressure on inventory management. Efficient shutter systems are key to keeping things running smoothly, as they need to be easy to open quickly for staff, while keeping unauthorised personnel out when closed.
With shift patterns and trading hours varying throughout these colder and darker months, it’s also crucial to streamline your opening and closing processes so that staff feel confident, comfortable, and safe when starting early, locking up late, or accepting deliveries.
This will also give business owners peace of mind that their employees and assets remain secure – but for this to happen, you’ll need up-to-date and well-maintained shutters, which can be supplied and serviced by professionals like the Roller Shutter Sales team.
