the story behind gage
Being able to effectively communicate is a vital part of security work. Security Officers need to be able to engage with a variety of stakeholders such as their clients, the community, patrons, customers, their colleagues, and other industry professionals. Further, Security Officers are required to monitor, observe, guard, gather intelligence, and negotiate throughout the course of their duties. Security Officers need to be able to gauge peoples’ actions, feelings, intentions in particular situations, and to be able to carefully consider and anticipate their behaviour. When Stephen was brainstorming company names, he reflected on his passion for providing exceptional customer service and engaging with the community and his clients. He wanted to be able to mesh his ideas and started a play on words between engage and gauge. After more research, Stephen discovered the etymology for gage is borrowed from the Anglo-French word gager which means to offer surety. Synonym nouns for Gage include guarantee, pledge and security, which all tie nicely into Stephen’s vision for Gage Security Group.
