They thought I was wasting my time and that I was too young to go into Security. There’s a lot of bad publicity about the industry that couldn't be further from the truth, but obviously a lot of people believe what they see on TV -' we're asleep or reading the paper whenever an incident happens! |

Every year Constant submit Security Officers for the BSIA awards that cover a wide range of activities. My best memory is winning the Security Officer of the year award for 'Service to Customer' |
