And furthermore....

We simply cannot forget another great achievement yet again for the amazing Rainbow Manley.

She was again voted as a Finalist for the New Zealand Security Association Security Trainer or Workplace Assessor of the Year. Rainbow has again showed her importance and respect through acknowledgement by her peers and the industry.

Her commitment to not only training our staff but also up skilling her own learning was highlighted by recently achieving her Batchelor of Criminal Justice.

A wealth of knowledge with a teaching style that captivates her audience, she is a true asset to us at October Protection as well as the Security Industry as a whole.

Well done Rainbow, we are incredibly proud of you and grateful for everything you do.
