Colin Culleton with transparent background
Securing

Meet Colin Culleton. The Founder & Director of Asset Protect Consulting Ltd. Colin retired from full time employment in June 2019 after over 40 years working in the security and loss prevention industry.

Asset Protect Consulting Ltd was created in July 2019 by Colin Culleton, a security and loss prevention professional, with extensive experience of working for market leading businesses.

The experience gained over 40 years in fast expanding, evolving businesses has provided exposure and experience to most loss prevention challenges and solutions.

The experience gained with Next Plc from 2013 to 2019, with the broad range of business challenges across multi functions, has provided invaluable experience and provides confidence to all business partners.

Innovative solutions have been required to address a range of new business challenges, including; online fraud reduction initiatives, bespoke product protection solutions, integrated incident reporting platforms, people screening solutions, CCTV analytics, automated resource management tools and smart keyholding services. 

The companies referenced on the web site are all businesses that have provided innovative, flexible & cost-effective solutions to the Founder / Director of Asset Protection Consulting Ltd.

The last 6 years of employment as Group Loss Prevention Manager for Next Plc were some of the most challenging and rewarding in my career and this influenced my decision to remain involved in the industry part time, via my own consultancy.

Whilst not in a position to operate as a charity, my over-riding objective was to give something back to an industry that had been very good to me and I believe that I have experienced most challenges that loss prevention professionals may face in their careers.

I don’t profess to have been successful in every initiative, policy change or investment decision but I have worked for businesses and bosses where if you don’t learn from your mistakes, you won’t be around to repeat the mistake…….
 
I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented and driven individuals in retail and I want to share my experience of the characteristics that these leaders had. I will also share the professional shortcomings that I identified during my career, with a view to assisting my industry peers by encouraging self-development in these areas.
