In our regular newsletter, as well as getting to know more about our teams and their roles in Meet the Team, we will feature interviews with individual colleagues where they tell us what they get up to day-to-day in their job.
 
This month we talk to Mobile Patrol Driver Saied Azad who is well-known by many people as Sid.
 
Sid kicked off by proudly telling us that he is 4 Site Security’s longest standing Mobile Patrol Driver. He will have served the company for a fantastic nine years this summer.
 
Sid’s day starts by checking out his daily run sheet so that he can organise his work efficiently and effectively, manoeuvring around any anticipated issues, such as traffic problems. He’ll keep a constant eye on this throughout the day too, making any necessary adjustments.
 
When there is an alarm call, Sid will change his route to attend to this urgently, while making every effort possible to ensure that his day’s list is attended to.
 
He knows his patch, which covers from Harrogate to Wakefield, Leeds and Sheffield, like the back of his hand.

While the mainstay of his job is visiting client sites to carry out thorough external and internal building checks, reporting any issues, and setting alarms on both staffed and vacant properties, he also carries out other tasks including inductions, deliveries, building inspections and meter readings and checks for damage. He also carries out daily vehicle compliance checks and takes part in regular training.
 
No two days are ever the same for Sid, and he relishes that, calmy explaining that he simply “deals with challenges as they come up”.
 
“I like being out on the road meeting people and helping people,” Sid tells us. “I love dealing with challenges as they come along. Every day is an opportunity to learn for me and a chance to make things even better next day. I like talking to people and customers. Feedback – negative or positive – are very welcome. It helps me improve. I want to do the best job I possibly can.”
 
Thank you Sid for your positive attitude, no matter the weather, challenges – or traffic jams!
