Employee Name: Jack Spears
Employee Job Title: Security Officer
Name of site and Customer: The Range Stowmarket
Nominated by: Ryan Murphy
Reason for Nomination: Jack demonstrated exceptional observation skills and professionalism, which led to the prevention of an attempted theft of multiple items from SMDC. During a routine search, Jack noticed that an employee appeared nervous when the search wand passed near a specific pocket. Acting on his instincts and experience, Jack conducted a more thorough search of that pocket and discovered several concealed items, including three bottles of essential oils, a Glade refill, and a stick of deodorant.
Following the procedure, Jack immediately informed me and, without being instructed, monitored the search room via CCTV while I completed the remainder of the search. His vigilance and quick thinking ensured the safety of his team lead (me) during what could have been a higher-risk situation. Ultimately, this led to the recovery of numerous additional items hidden on the employee’s person and in their bag.
Jack went above and beyond his duties, demonstrating initiative, teamwork, and a strong commitment to security standards. I believe his actions deserve recognition as Employee of the Month.
Employee Name: Mohammed Yousif
Employee Job Title: Security Officer
Name of site and Customer: Studio 51
Nominated by: Louise Eagles
Reason for Nomination: Studio 51 was threatened with antisocial behaviour via social media platforms during October. In the first weekend of November, Fireworks Night fast approached. When all was thought to be quiet from 11 pm, the behaviour outside the student accommodation became extremely dangerous. Yousif had great communication with me and the control room during his shift. Gangs on the streets of Birmingham were throwing fireworks at the building and at the police outside the reception area. Yousif remained calm under these circumstances and protected not just the building but also the students. He ensured that students remained inside to avoid any injuries and secured the doors of the accommodation to ensure no unwanted visitors or fireworks entered the building. His good work and commitment to the student accommodation were noted by the client, and I feel that his work on this evening deserves this nomination.
Employee Name: Mohammed Adam
Employee Job Title: Security Officer
Name of site and Customer: Jennens Court
Nominated by: Louise Eagles
During November, Adam dealt with a highly sensitive welfare issue on-site. He provided direct support to the student and the accommodation site team during. The support that Adam was able to provide is an example of how to build relationships with Students, and how caring for these young adults out of hours is essential for their well-being. The student had confidence in Adam and confided in him when they were unable to access the correct medical treatments. Adam’s support was recognised as excellent by the site team; he even stayed behind without being asked to ensure that the student received the correct medical attention. Adam continues to provide outstanding support to the student daily; without this support, the outcome could have been unthinkable.
Employee Name: Suffian Badara
Employee Job Title: Security Officer
Name of site and Customer: Twerton Mills
Nominated by: Josh Dempster
Suffian consistently demonstrates exceptional reliability, professionalism, and commitment to maintaining high standards on-site. His conduct reflects both strong technical capability and a calm, solutions-focused approach during routine duties and unexpected incidents alike. A recent example illustrates the quality of his performance:
“Just a quick one, just some praise for Suffian. At 3 am this morning, he leaked to B Block 3rd floor, going down to the ground floor. Someone had left the tap on in their room. He reacted perfectly, shutting off the water as per training, then proceeded to clean it up. He notified me by message and kept me informed. Great to see. He has become a great asset to the site team.”
This feedback is representative of the comments regularly received about his work. He is consistently praised for his attention to detail, proactive communication, and willingness to take ownership of issues without hesitation. His dependable response during early-morning hours, combined with his adherence to procedure and his ability to restore normal conditions quickly, demonstrates both competence and dedication to the safety and well-being of the site community.
Suffian’s ongoing performance makes him a valuable and trusted member of the team, deserving of formal recognition for his contribution.

Employee Name: Jack Williams

Nominated by: Josh Dempster
Jack continues to demonstrate exactly what it means to be a dependable and dedicated member of the Consortio Security team. As highlighted in the feedback received, “Jack is a credit to Consortio Security, he always goes over and above for our residents, especially when incidents occur… He has dealt with many incidents this year, including a death on-site and, recently, a threat with a knife… Having him on-site gives us peace of mind that the site and incidents which arise will be handled in the correct way, with care and attention.”
