Article from the Hornsby Advocate - January 19th, 2012:



Well done to all staff involved at Westfield Hornsby in ensuring the safety of all patrons and delivering a positive result!

After 3-years of co-sponsorship with BOC Gases and Brad Jones Racing,  SECUREcorp has decided to take another direction in this regard.   Whilst our partnership with BOC and Brad Jones Racing in V8 Supercars has been exciting, SECUREcorp believes our commitment to Neighbourhood Watch and more community based investments are in line with our growing corporate responsibility.

As such you will see a greater focus on community based programs this year.

At the recent opening of the new Fujitsu data centre in Greystanes - the SECUREcorp security team were praised by Fujistsu and National client executives for providing a 'world class level of security'. Well done to the team for setting yet another fine example.

Congratulations to the SECUREcorp QLD Team for their recent BSCAA Award for 2011!

The Outstanding Company in the Security Industry award, presented by Mr. Tim O'Neil from Australian Super - was awarded by the Building Services Contractors Assosciation of Australia in recognition of the exemplary service displayed by SECUREcorp QLD.

Well done to the entire QLD team!

In 2010 the Australian Security Medal Foundation was formed by Senior Security professionals and other corporate figures to establish due recognition and reward for heroic acts performed by Security Personnel.  The inaugural medal of valour and security professional medals were  awarded for the first time in 2011.

There were only 6 medals awarded nationally - 2 of those are being awarded to SECUREcorp NSW staff.

Tarek Khammesh, Security Officer now of Bondi Junction who whilst at Parramatta Shopping Centre for SECUREcorp  intervened in a dispute where two offenders were stabbing a victim and prevented the victim from being further stabbed putting his own life in danger, the offenders fled but were later arrested and charged by Police.

Ben Williams, Security Officer of Warringah Mall who late last year followed an offender armed with a knife who had just robbed a kiosk in the centre,   the offender held his knife up to Ben and told him to back off - the offender then hijacked a vehicle in the carpark throwing the driver out of his car at knifepoint,  Ben ran at the moving car, opened the door, kicking the knife out of the offenders hand and then arrested him stopping the vehicle.

The awards were presented at a black tie event at Sydney Town Hall on 19 February 2011 to our staff in the presence of Joint Managing Director John Orr Campbell.  We can all feel proud that our staff have performed magnificently and with courage and were duly acknowledged.
