About Capcon
Specialist operational support for retail and hospitality businesses.
Capcon works with operators who need a clearer view of performance, tighter control over risk and stronger consistency across their business. In retail and hospitality, small process gaps can quickly affect margin, stock accuracy, compliance and service standards. The role of Capcon is to help businesses spot those issues earlier, understand where action is needed and put stronger controls in place.
A flexible and responsive approach has shaped the business from the beginning. No two operators face exactly the same pressures, which is why support is shaped around the realities of each client’s operation. That may mean stocktaking, auditing, employee screening, risk reviews or wider operational guidance, but the focus remains the same: practical support that helps businesses run with greater control and confidence.
Strong working relationships are central to that approach. By understanding how each business operates, Capcon is able to provide support that is relevant, commercially grounded and useful in practice. Senior team members and account specialists stay close to client operations, offering continuity, insight and support beyond the initial brief.
Some operational issues also require a high level of discretion. Where businesses are dealing with sensitive matters, Capcon works with confidentiality, professionalism and a clear sense of responsibility. Processes are structured, ethical and built to protect both the business and its reputation.
Our History
Capcon’s history stretches back more than six decades, giving the business long standing experience in stock control, investigation and operational oversight. The company was founded in the early 1960s by Ken Dulieu, with an initial focus on stocktaking and investigation services.
Over time, the business expanded its capabilities and developed a broader service offer. In 1994, the company listed on the London Stock Exchange before being acquired by Carlisle Holdings plc in 1998. In 1999, the management team formed Capcon Limited and acquired the Stocktaking and Investigation divisions, creating the foundation for the business as it operates today.
In 2001, Capcon Holdings plc was listed on AIM, further strengthening its position. More recently, the business has expanded through the acquisition of two commercial investigation companies, adding further depth to its service offering and operational expertise.
