Congratulations to our first Covid-19 Guardian Award winner:
MARCUS HENDRIKSEN
Marcus is working with Countdown supermarkets in the Dunedin area, representing his employer Allied Security, and the security industry, as an outstanding individual.
Allied Security are happy to endorse Marcus’ nomination stating that he has brought his personal touch, positive attitude and focus on excellence to his role, he is a people person and an exceptional security officer.
A representative from Countdown, Dunedin South, has this to say about Marcus:
“Throughout Covid-19 Level 4 lock-down Marcus has been absolute treasure at the door, he’s very welcoming and helpful to our customers. Marcus has excelled in every way to the point where we would love the employ him here with us. It’s been uncertain times for our customers who visit the store but Marcus’ way of easing that unknown for them has been noticed by many Dunedin shoppers and has been mentioned a few times on Facebook. Countdown Dunedin South can only thank Marcus for the great work he has shown us all.”
The NZSA introduced the Covid-19 Guardian Award as a way in which the wider community can recognise and say thanks to security personnel for their efforts.
