Paul leads a team at a highly sensitive Facility Security Clearance (FSC) site supporting critical national security operations. Since joining Securitas in 2024, he has transformed operational standards, delivering 100% of KPIs in the last quarter – an unprecedented achievement on the account.
With a 20-year policing background, Paul has enhanced training frameworks, redesigned CCTV systems to improve threat detection, and introduced a bespoke visitor management “traffic light” vetting system to protect site integrity without disrupting business continuity.
Paul has successfully coordinated security for high-profile VIP visits, including the UK Prime Minister and international dignitaries, drafting full operational security plans within hours of notification. His calm professionalism, investigative expertise and commitment to team development have significantly elevated safety, resilience and client confidence at the site.
Paul’s leadership has been praised by Airbus, with site security leaders highlighting the measurable improvements in reporting accuracy, operational efficiency and overall security culture under his supervision.
Alex Davis, Chief Commercial Officer, Securitas UK, said:
“Paul’s achievement is an example of the dedication and professionalism that define Securitas UK. His success reflects our commitment to developing highly skilled, empowered teams who make a real difference for our clients every day. We’re proud of Paul – and proud of the standards our organisation continues to set across the industry, making a measurable difference to our clients and communities.”
Paul Pickett, Site Supervisor at Airbus shared his feelings after winning the award:
“Receiving this award is a real privilege. The work we do at an FSC site carries significant responsibility, and I’m proud of how the team consistently rises to that challenge. I’m grateful to Securitas UK and Airbus for their ongoing trust and collaboration, and I share this recognition with everyone who contributes to keeping the site safe and secure every day.”
Congratulations to everybody who won an award at this incredible event.
