Working as a security officer at the shop, Iain had gone to the aid of the man's wife after she ran into the building to get urgent help.
After following the woman outside, Iain knew he needed to act quickly, and had given first aid while the man's wife called for an ambulance.
With paramedics arriving at the scene within minutes, the team told Iain that without his quick thinking and diligence, they would not have been able to save the gentleman's life.
The customer was then taken to St John's Hospital, where it was discovered he had suffered a bleed on the brain.
Thanks to Iain’s actions, he recovered well in hospital and was able to leave a few days later.

Iain said: “My partner saved my life a few years ago when I had a heart attack and her quick actions meant I got the care I needed. I feel grateful that I was able to help this man.
“When I saw him, I immediately knew that something was seriously wrong, and my first aid instincts took over. I was happy to help and glad that I made a difference.”
The store's admin manager Jackie Martin said: “We are so proud of Iain, he is a true hero! Iain jumped into automatic mode and his calm exterior and clear head helped to save the customer’s life.
"He is very diligent and a real team player who is always looking out for his colleagues and customers. I am so glad he was on duty and able to assist.”
