Our Payroll Manager’s
Heroism
We may often wonder how we would react
in an emergency, whether we would leap
to help or prefer to not get involved. Well
there is a young man who owes much to
the fact that ASG Payroll Manager, Tom
Bowskill decided to get involved and go to
his aid.
Tom was on a break recently with his
wife and young son in Snowdonia. Whilst
standing on a viewing platform admiring the
waterfalls below, a young man came falling
through the air from above Tom and his fam-
ily, falling head first approximately 10 to 15 being flown by helicopter to the nearest
metres from the cliff above the river opposite hospital where he is still in a critical state. quick thinking and intervention it is highly
to the visitor site and into the water below.
Tom’s first reaction was to climb down the
banking into the water to rescue the young
man. By the time Tom had scrambled down,
the victim was submerged and unconscious,

Tom had to try and retrieve him and drag
him out of the water. The weight of the victim
was such that Tom couldn’t lift the man, so
he shouted for support. Fortunately, the two
people who heard Tom’s cries for help were
both medical professionals, a doctor and
a paramedic, and were able to assist in
dragging the man out of the water and then
provide immediate critical care and CPR to
the victim.
The emergency services were directed to
the incident, resulting in the young man
A Wales Air Ambulance Charity spokesper-
son said: “I can confirm that the Wales Air
Ambulance Charity attended an incident
near Betws y Coed yesterday (Saturday)
morning.
Connor Turnbull -
‘Employee of the Month’- April 2022
The Dalton Park Outlet Shopping Centre
in County Durham has over 65 stores and
plenty of cafes and dining outlets within
the mall and also boasts over 55 acres of
landscaped parkland. That’s a lot of
responsibility and ground to cover for
the ASG security team, but thanks to the
dedication of security officers like Connor
Turnbull and his colleagues, they are more
than a match for the task.
Connor has been in the Dalton Park security
team now for just 6 months but has already
proven himself an asset to the team,
providing excellent customer service to both
tenants and customers on a daily basis.

“Our Caernarfon-based helicopter crew
were mobile at 11:05 and arrived on scene
at 11:18.
“Following critical care treatments from our
consultant and critical care practitioner, we
airlifted the patient to the Royal Stoke
University Hospital, leaving the scene at
12:54 and arriving at the hospital at 13:26.
Our involvement concluded at 14:46.”
Tom displayed great bravery and care in
being the first person to reach the victim
and drag him out of the water. Without Tom’s
unlikely that the young man would have
survived. I think we have a real hero in our
business.

in a calm and controlled manner that has

credit to the fantastic service provided by all
the team to our Dalton Park client as well as
their tenants and customers.”
In recognition of his outstanding perfor-
mance and contribution to the team effort,
