Josiah Ferguson
Summary
A community minded individual with a proven track record of working within the Security Industry, I am an effective communicator with experience in a range of venues, ensuring the safety and security of premises and patrons. Trained in First AID and Prevent Awareness, I operate in a firm but fair manner, that facilitates maintaining a reassuring presence through consensus, rather than conflict, where possible. Having spent several years gaining invaluable experience providing security within Retail at such venues such as Sainsburys, Primark and also at Private Events, I am looking at alternative sectors to utilise my transferrable skills and further my personal and professional development. Complete work history available.
