As a company dealing with security, our people serve on the front line of society under exceptional circumstances. Every year we have stories of our staff showing great presence of mind and courage while on duty. We take extreme pride in our people and organise award ceremonies to thank and recognise them for their various achievements. Recently, we organised our first award ceremony to recognise individual achievement, extraordinary acts of heroism while on duty and meritorious service.
This year’s awards included:
- 30 Security Guards awarded certificates for attaining NVQ level 2.
- An individual rewarded for showing the highest level of integrity after he found an unattended bag of £10,000. He not only recovered the bag but also traced the owner.
- Extraordinary sense of duty: four Secure On Site guards helped clear the flood waters when a pipe burst flooding a hospital. The guards continued to maintain their security duties, whilst helping clear the flood waters.
- A security guard showed great presence of mind when he witnessed an accident outside the building where he was working. In addition to calling the emergency services, he remembered the attendees of a conference in the building were medically trained and rushed to secure their aid.
- One guard was also rewarded for saving the life of a man who had attempted to commit suicide by cutting his wrists.
- Ten people recognised for 10 years of meritorious service.
All these acts required exceptional presence of mind and an outstanding commitment to duty. In my view, a good security company is not about providing services alone, but it is about the bravery of men and women who put themselves in a high risk situation for the safety and security of others.
The values shown by our staff are a great inspiration to everyone and truly demonstrate the quality of people working for Secure On Site. We believe that recognition of staff success drives people to achieve more and relish the environment within which they work. Secure On Site Security has earned a superb reputation for delivering high class security services across a range of clients, but this would not have been possible if it was not for our committed staff.
