Before beginning with Red Badge I had just retired from refereeing, 35 seasons as a provincial rugby referee, 27 seasons as a national rugby league referee and 30 seasons as a touch referee ending that as an international referee. I came into contact with Red Badge at Rugby events and thought I would give it a go.⁠
⁠
I’m also 18 months shy of 50 years with the same plastering firm, 35 years as site foreman - I deal with all walks of life, meeting people in their own environment (home) listening to their ideas and discussing the options and advising them what's available. ⁠
⁠
I believe this experience has helped me in my new adventure as a security guard. It has taught me to be tolerant, to listen, to weigh up most situations good or not so good, to make sound judgments when I have gained all information and the way I conduct myself both on the job and away from it.⁠
⁠
In my spare time I also a volunteer for HB Rugby Union as stand supervisor, during the games I have time to monitor the area I’m in charge of including the surrounding areas where people were gathering. In the past I have observed the security guards on how they presented themselves, their approach and conduct with people and this made me think, I could do that well so when I received an email that Red Badge were seeking new guards I responded. It seemed like a professional company to work for. ⁠

I was teaching at Oaklands School in Halswell and Paul McAven was a fellow teacher with me. I had come to the end of my time there and Paul suggested I come work for Red Badge. ⁠
⁠
I worked as a Youth Pastor for 4 years and have spent time working with the Kingsley Residential Centre for Juvenile Offenders. The young people I worked with there were often up for a serious crime and were looking at a term of imprisonment. Helping people has always been a part of my life and I feel like working at Red Badge allows me to help people. ⁠
⁠
I enjoy working corporate events as it has another level of customer service to it. You get a lot more one-on-one interaction with people and you can really make a difference to people's lives.⁠

Prior to becoming a Security Guard, I spent 3 years as a Youth Worker. I spent time working with kids who came from broken homes, who have made bad decisions or simply have no guidance. I also spent time working with kids in a remand home setting. These were kids who were transitioning through the courthouse system and ended up in the care of Oranga Tamariki. I believe this has helped me when dealing with difficult situations in the Security Industry and trying to defuse situations that could get out of hand. ⁠
⁠
My parents raised me to have respect for others. I try and maintain a high level of respect within our team and try to be mindful that we should not be judgmental when we are doing what we do. We don’t what know everyone is going through so being a real professional is important.⁠
⁠
I chose Red Badge to work for as they treated me with care and believed in my ability to do well. I interviewed with another security firm, and I ended up walking out of the office and leaving because it felt like they just needed anyone to work for them. Red Badge took the time to see where I would fit in their team. That gave me that extra confidence boost and I wanted to do well.⁠

I was homeless and terrified so I hid under one of the Auckland Red Badge Manager's cars outside the office. I was meowing when some of the Manager's heard me and came to rescue me. I was so scared I tried to run but they took me inside and gave me a blanket, food and water.⁠
⁠
I have managed to win the hearts of everyone in the Auckland Office and their office is now my home. I have lots of toys and people to play with. I knew when I chose one of their cars to hide in that I had chosen people who would take care of me.⁠
⁠
I like to support the Managers. They sometimes get a bit stressed out and are busy so I love to distract them with my cuteness so they forget about being stressed for a little bit and give me attention. ⁠
⁠
I love my new home and look forward to meeting my new Red Badge family members when they come to visit the office.⁠
