SUCCESSES
Marshall Security Hits The Target, With PMR Diamond Arrow Awards
We don’t do what we do for the awards or accolades. On the contrary, we do it because we love what we do and that, combined with the knowledge that we protect people (family, friends, neighbours, communities) and/or their property and things, is what makes us truly proud.
However, that being said, it is certainly reaffirming to hear that what we do is noticed (for the record, we take special delight when it’s noticed by bad guys too, for obvious reasons), appreciated and celebrated. It makes us feel all warm and tingly inside (and no, it’s not just the adrenaline).
