INTRODUCTION

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. Fast forward to today and I now specialise not only in recruiting for the manned security industry but also other soft services sectors (such as cleaning and ground maintenance) as many of my clients have become multi service providers. 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 Security Officers recruitment projects.

STAR ROLES

Ref FA01603 Business Development Manager (Manned Guarding) - Heathrow area

I am working in partnership with a long established (over twenty-five years) provider of manned guarding and associated services.

They provide a large variety of internal and external Security Options including: Security Officers, Mobile Services, Graffiti Removal, Electronic Security, Remote Monitoring and a newly launched Cyber Security Training division. The sales department within the company has a very open culture and is geared towards sitting down as a team and finding the best strategy to secure the business. So, for example a BDM may have strong relationships or knowledge of a particular client, sector or geographical area, this knowledge would be utilised in the best possible way to win a contract. As a company they actively create leads although the incumbent will be expected to have their own contacts. They have created a culture within the business that has resulted in extremely stable and supportive operational and sales teams. The position has an annual sales target of £1 million. Commission is paid at 1% to target, 1% bonus for hitting target and 2% above target (this is open ended). They are currently looking for an additional Business Development Manager to join their sales team, which currently consists of a Head of Sales, a full-time BDM and a hybrid sales/operations manager. The selling area will be London and the Home Counties. They have an enviable portfolio of well-known clients that includes educational establishments (such as halls of residence), high-end offices, hospitals, local authorities, financial institutions, logistics and manufacturing companies, although over the years they have gained experience in most sectors...Find out more
