Retail Risk Management Rising Star of The Year Award
The judges are looking to recognise the success of an outstanding individual who has made a positive contribution to the bottom line performance and overall loss prevention landscape within their place of work. The winner does not necessarily work full-time in profit protection. They might be from another discipline, but “really get” risk and as such has made a significant difference – either financially or culturally – within their place of work.

Regional Profit Protection Manager of The Year Award
Often the unsung heroes of the Risk Team, this Award recognises outstanding Regional or Divisional Heads who provide their stores with genuine support and guidance in the fight against retail risk and fraud, and who also embrace the bigger, company-wide aims and objectives. In so doing they bring genuine value and benefits to their company as well as the wider industry network.
The winners

Steve Page
Woolworths
Retail Risk Management Team of The Year Award
Recognises the Profit Protection Team that undertook that difficult online technology roll-out that was delivered in record time. This Award is for excellence in the symbiotic fields of online risk management and robust supply chain processes. It recognises the team that undertook that difficult technology roll out, or inspired the whole organisation with its approach to new challenges. It is a real pat on the back for not only spotting trends and suspicious anomalies within the fulfilment chain, but also successfully risk sizing and closing the process gaps that are causing shrink within the business.
