Muhamed Farouk Ahmed from Hospitality Services – Security Department pens his journey at MYMCA.
Hi everyone, my name is Muhamed Farouk Ahmad, or Uncle Farouk to my fellow colleagues.
Two and a half years ago, I embarked on my journey here at Metropolitan YMCA and haven’t looked back since. As a member of the Security team under Hospitality Services, my daily duties include managing the security of the premises and ensuring the orderly functions of the building.
My colleagues have remarked about my dedication and enthusiasm to my job, but I simply believe that being friendly and forthcoming is a part of my personality.
A Day In My Life
Curious to know more of what I do? Here’s a quick snapshot!
- I walk…a lot! Patrolling the Metropolitan YMCA grounds to ensure everyone’s safety and well being is all part of my job.
- Traffic and parking control. We don’t have a lot of space so I have to ensure there isn’t any congestion or illegal parking within our compound.
- Safety first! I visit and inspect different building points to ensure for any issues or suspicious personnel
I really enjoy working at MYMCA as I am surrounded by friendly colleagues and visitors. Our Senior Leadership is also approachable and easy to talk to as well. Recalling the challenging days of COVID, the Association did not lay off any staff but, instead, ensured that we were all well taken care off. This is something that I’m truly grateful and blessed.
I’ve also had the wonderful opportunity to meet very interesting guests over the years! Curious? Come and ask me about it!
