Treacle Company Mascot Treacle, the company mascot, has been with SSS for 8 years and is another valued member of the team. The good-natured Bullmastiff sleeps most of the day in the service workshop, but has been known to bark and warn us of impending danger (or customers entering the building. High-visibility jackets get the best reaction!). We don't work her too hard, but find her specialist skills in credit control and the enforcement of the service workshop “exclusion zone” extremely useful. |
