The coffee accompanies the Neapolitan in the course of the day constituting the pause for excellence, the indispensable energizer to better face the hours of work or study, at home and on the street, alone or in company. Some jobs, then, require particular promptness, clarity and attention; for those who make them coffee is a fundamental support. We think of the security guards, chosen professionals who protect the assets entrusted to him, risking not a little, especially in reality like ours, alas, where delinquency is nothing at all a rarity.

Intrigued by deepening the relationship between these guardians of other assets and our national drink, I went to the Union Security in Giugliano in Campania of dr. Valerio Iovinella, institute that counts more than 300 employees and shines for the quality of services and results.

I chatted so with Mr. Giuseppe Piezzo, a security guard, submitting some questions to him.

2. A) A few weeks ago I was on duty at night when from the station they asked me to take me urgently to a client because three armed thugs were trying to force entry. At the precise moment of the alarm call, I was with my colleague to drink the long-awaited coffee. I could not, of course, because we immediately activated to reach the marked place, where, I say it with pride, we foiled the attempted theft. Our customer has complimented us, expressing gratitude and gratitude and … offering us a great coffee that, of course, after the action could certainly not miss!

1. Q) How many coffees do you drink during working hours?

2. R) Definitely. Among my duties is also to conclude contracts with new customers and establish with them the control methods best suited to the type of asset to be protected. The cup of coffee is the inevitable accompaniment of these talks, it is the best system “to break the ice” with customers, old and new.

1. Q) So, for your work, coffee is essential?
2. R) I can say that it is the best partner to “close” the contracts, my precious ally, to whom I would not give up for all the gold in the world.

In short, the experience made at the security and security company acclaimed me has confirmed how our infused black is important for those who perform delicate tasks and, once again, that can not be defined as a simple drink, but the catalyst of the best energy psychophysical.
