He attended Project Griffin training on site of this huge six-acre multi-tenanted estate looking after an eclectic mix of stakeholders with an annual footfall of around 8million. Andrew is also a qualified First Aider.<\/p>\n<p>With so many challenges on a site of this size and mixed use, Andrew needs to be on top of his game as a front-line officer and ambassador for the business. He said, \u201cAlong with my other training, Project Griffin has provided me with additional awareness and confidence to deal with a variety of situations including reporting suspicious behaviour, plus you tend to look out for and notice more.\u201d He also commented on how his training has helped him with one of his passions \u2013 working with the public and his clients to help them where he can and keep them safe.<\/p>\n<p>A keen advocate of Project Griffin, Andrew said, \u201cI would recommend everyone to attend Project Griffin awareness training; it will help you in your job and career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Andrew and a colleague have been recognised and acknowledged with \u2018special thanks\u2019 for intervening and stopping what would have been a serious incident involving one of the estate\u2019s stakeholders.
