Paul C Chapman
Group Security & Loss Prevention
Head of Corporate Investigations
Joined Tesco: November 2002
"...very quickly, I formed the view that the company cared about individuals and was prepared to share its success with its staff."
"After leaving the police, I joined Tesco as an investigator. I knew it would be a fantastic opportunity for me to use my investigative background in a different environment. I had heard that Tesco was a dynamic, forward thinking business that was willing to invest in its people and as well as finding this to be pretty true I very quickly found out that the company also cared about individuals and was prepared to share its success with its staff.
"In early 2005 I was promoted to Head of Corporate Investigations Team. A great reward for all my hard work. My role now includes dealing with external and internal criminal threats, disseminating intelligence reports across the business, protective security and global executive protection.
"What I really like about the role is its unpredictability. You never know what the next telephone call will bring. It requires dedication on a 24/7 basis. I have a small and highly skilled team around me dedicated to protecting the business and its assets from threats, and we're all extremely supportive and willing to help one another at a moments notice in order to get things done. And I'd say it's by fostering an environment that's friendly and helpful that's enabled us to be so successful in our work."
