We are proud to honour Morgan with our Above & Beyond Award for her vigilance and swift action during a potentially dangerous incident on 8th July 2025. While on patrol, Morgan detected a burning smell and quickly escalated the issue, discovering a smouldering window frame ignited by a discarded cigarette. Thanks to her decisive response, the fire was contained before it could spread, averting a serious incident. Morgan’s quick thinking, dedication, and professionalism truly exemplify what it means to go above and beyond.

We are thrilled to recognise Charlie Downing as the recipient of our Above & Beyond Award.

Congratulations, Charlie, on this well-deserved recognition

His compassion, initiative, and dedication embody true community spirit, making him a highly deserving recipient of this award.

Danny consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the site runs smoothly. During a period when the team was short-staffed, he started his day two hours early to support the Ops team with essential tasks, quietly stepping in without seeking praise, simply because he cares about his colleagues and the site. His deep knowledge of Port Solent, willingness to cover wherever needed, and proactive approach to problem-solving have made a real difference. Danny’s pride in his work, hands-on attitude, and ability to think outside the box embody the very spirit of this award. Respected by both his team and clients, Danny’s impact is felt every day, and his dedication inspires those around him.

In Liverpool’s busiest shopping destination, welcoming over 13 million visitors annually, the team has transformed the centre into a true safe haven.

Their proactive intelligence reporting, strong partnerships, and visible presence make them trusted by the public, retailers, and authorities alike. This 16-strong team doesn’t just protect St John - they inspire confidence, foster community, and prove what can be achieved when people work together with purpose.
