6. Positive Feedback
Barry Bishop - Customer Service
Representative (CSR), Heathrow Express said:
“Today has been fantastic! This training is
much needed and has been really well
presented in a very clear and concise way. It’s
also helped to further enhance working
relationships between both organisations. I
would thoroughly recommend this awareness
day.”
Masood Khosham – also a CSR, based at
Heathrow, added: “What we have learned has
been very informative and it’s good to see
things from the perspective of BTP. You can
really see how much work goes on behind the
scenes to help combat terrorism. I now have a
toolkit and increased awareness to provide me
with confidence in dealing with potentially
suspicious situations in the correct way.”
