The Safer Business Award - A nationally-recognised standard awarded by Action Against Business Crime (AABC) - has been bestowed upon the Teesside Shopping Park. Mike Clarke (Park manager), Eddie Lincoln (crime reduction liaison officer) and Alex Norris (Park security manager) are pictured here being presented with the prestigious award by Steve Booth, regional crime manager.

The main focus of AABC is to support and develop Business Crime Partnerships in local areas, ensuring that there are firm links between business, crime and disorder reduction initiatives, the police service and other local agencies.

Over the years, Teesside Shopping Park's management team has developed excellent links with the local community, working closely with the Cleveland Police in targeting persistent shop theft offenders to reduce anti-social behaviour and criminality.
