Carolyn Stokes, the former Retail Director of Reliance Security, is managing this new operation out of Titon’s office at 25 Grosvenor Street, London W1. She says: "As responsible employers we cannot expect staff to work under the stress and worry of being robbed. Businesses are crying out for help dealing with emergency situations.
