Hello and welcome to the Fairford Associates website. My name is  Gary Draycott  and I am an Independent Recruiter. I began recruiting for the manned security industry in 1998. In 2004 I began trading independently under the name of Fairford Associates with the objective of providing a knowledgeable, friendly, ethical and reasonably priced recruitment service for the manned security sector.

I recruit candidates at all levels including Director, Management, Supervisors, Sales and back office roles such as Trainers and HR staff etc, placing candidates with a broad spectrum of clients across the UK. I have also successfully undertaken large scale recruitment projects for Security Officers.
