Within the security industry, there is always room for growth and new opportunities with new business and sites.

I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the ASP family for the growth within the Residential and Commercial division again.

In June, we were advised that we were awarded a new contract with the City of Toronto. This contract was awarded for two of the four Crossing Guard zones within the city of Toronto. This contract brings with it about 320-340 new employees. This was a big win for us as we can showcase our high level of service in a specialized area that we would like to grow in. We will be starting this contract on September 3, 2019.

This contract was awarded to us due to our reputation and hard work that our field staff have done over the last several years at our sites. This is a testament of how important it is to always maintain a professional image and attitude.

This contract has provided us with another unique vertical market as we will be providing security at the client’s cross walks in the North and West parts of GTA.

I wanted to welcome all the incumbent and new staff as we transition this contract and bring a large amount of intellectual capital on board through the highly experienced crossing guards. The teams support and willingness to help has been a big part of the successes we are currently having had early in this contract and transition.

We have several projects in the works and I am looking forward to the continued growth within our ASP family and to see where we can take this in the future.

As you all know, the residential and commercial division has been growing immensely over the last couple of years.

With growth comes infrastructure change, positive change that has allowed our team to take the next step.

I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome Josh Holowatenko as the new Recruiter for the Residential & Commercial division. Josh has spent the last five years working in professional environments such as Moore’s (men’s clothing). Josh came on board with ASP as a Mobile Supervisor and has worked his way up into the recruiter role through hard work and dedication.

Josh is also an elite athlete and currently captains Team Canada’s dodgeball team. He is regularly travelling for tournaments to compete against other elite teams and countries. This dedication to his team has provided Josh with a work ethic that allows him to easily exceed the standards and break the ceiling of expectations.

I am looking forward to seeing the work Josh will do for our organization and how he will help us to get to the next level of our business successes. I am proud and honored to have Josh as part of our team and I look forward to watching him grow in this role.

I personally welcome Josh to the team and I would like everyone to take this opportunity to welcome Josh to the team.

ASP has enjoyed an immense amount of success over the last few years.

This success has led to the ASP family growing and becoming an organization that is recognized as a premium service provider by our peers and our clients.

Part of being successful is understanding that we have a responsibility to the communities around us and to give back where we can to truly be a community leader by helping others.

Part of our 2019 initiative is to get more involved in the not-for-profit and charity community. I am very proud to announce that we have become part of an organization that truly helps people in the community.

ASP has partnered up with Shelter Movers. Shelter Movers is a volunteer-based organization that provides moving and storage services at no cost to women and children experiencing abuse. Shelter Movers collaborates with community partners in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver to help families transition to a life free of abuse.

ASP is very proud to be a part of this initiative and to provide support in our communities. To learn more about Shelter Movers, visit their website at sheltermovers.com.

As ASP grows, we are looking forward to the opportunity in expanding our community efforts and be a part of the solution around us.

If you are interested in being a part of this initiative or know how else we can help, you may contact me directly at csampogna@security-asp.com. I would be very happy to discuss these opportunities with you.
