Said the following about Melvin Trader:

“Melvin, when reporting for duty for a morning shift at Liverpool Lime Street Station received a first aid call at 0643, when his shift starts at 0700 for someone who had collapsed. Melvin immediately made his way to the area with his colleague and recognised the male was not breathing and started performing CPR whilst his colleague's called for 999 and retrieved a defib. Melvin continued with CPR until the ambulance arrived and took over. Melvin's quick thinking meant that the male was alive when taken away to hospital for further treatment. The male's family returned the next day to thank Melvin and allowing them to have father's day with their father/husband/brother'.“
