Story From Ian Thomas
Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 8:51AM Ian Thomas, ex-Group 4 Nightspeed employee.
In the late 1980's I was a sales representative for a divison known as Group 4 Nightspeed Ltd. During one weekend at the training center in Worcester, I was working as an organisor for an outdoor pursuits event. Lots of teams competing across a wet, muddy assult course up and down the hills of the training center.
As the day finished, I was alone packing up some markers flags and was covered from all the mud. Just I was trying to figure out how I was going to get all this stuff up the hill, along came Mr. Sorensen in a very expensive car, with beautiful beige leather upholstery. "Hop in", he shouted from the window.
I was shocked. Here I am am covered in mud with all this equipment not knowing what to do. He obviously saw the look on my face and continued; "Get in. It's only mud. It will wash off". So in I got and up the hill we went having a great conversation about the day's events.
It was a very simple gesture of kindness that I have never forgotten, and never will. May his spirit live on through us all who were fortunate to meet him.
