We recently received this very moving and heartfelt compliment from a community member, Gillian Doig, regarding one of our security personnel, Lloyd Mashaba. Once again Lloyd has displayed the very character of loyalty, honour and honesty which we instil within our values as a company and throughout our dealings in the business and private sector, proving once again if it's the best in security you need then EC Security is definitely you only choice!
"I
would just like to take the time to send you a letter commending the actions
last week of one of your security guards, Mr Lloyd Mashaba (employer #1832).
My
78 year old mom, Mrs Thomas, had her purse stolen 2 weeks ago, whilst she was
shopping, and both her ID and driver’s licence were in the purse. This
obviously was a most distressing thing to happen to an elderly lady.
On
Saturday 7th February 2015, Lloyd Mashaba was at work and noticed 2
men running past his station on Peter Place. He then saw some items falling out
of the pocket of one of the men. Lloyd went to investigate and saw that the
items were an ID book and driver’s licence, clearly not belonging to the man
who had dropped it. He took note of the address at the back of the ID book and
sent a friend to the address in order to deliver both items back to my mom, as
he was working and could not leave his post. Unbeknown to Lloyd and his friend,
my mom had recently moved from that address – undeterred, the friend went
across to the neighbouring house and asked if they knew my mom. The neighbour
kindly phoned my mom and the items have been returned to her.
It
is so easy in this day and age to simply ignore one’s social responsibility and
it would have much easier and far less time consuming for Lloyd to throw the ID
book away and forget about it, but the time and consideration that he (and his
friend) took to return those items to their rightful owner is most commendable
and sincerely appreciated by our family. My mom has since been up to meet Lloyd
and to thank him personally. I have also chatted to Lloyd on the phone and he
took the time to let me know that this is how he has been trained to do his job
– it is indeed refreshing to hear someone who obviously has the best interests
of the community and its members at heart! A lesson that we can all learn from!"
