 Who We Are

Introducing Craig – Founder & Director of Compliance for UK Bailiffs

With a foundation in public service, I began my career as a police officer with Dorset Police, stepping into uniform immediately after college. Over the years, I’ve held diverse roles—from supermarket manager and MORI poll researcher to field sales for British Gas.

I joined the Marston Group in 2004, one of the UK’s largest enforcement firms, as a bailiff training officer, training and mentoring over 150 agents and progressed to National NNDR (Business Rates) and Council Tax Supervisor. After a company restructuring and redundancy, I launched UK Bailiffs in 2018 with a clear mission: to modernise enforcement with integrity, responsiveness, and professionalism.

Today, UK Bailiffs is one of the UK's leading commercial enforcement companies, relied upon by landlords, solicitors, and local authorities. I remain actively involved in operations, training agents, handling sensitive instructions, and ensuring we deliver lawful, effective results for every client.

As the driving force behind our success, I’m committed to setting new standards in commercial enforcement across England and Wales.
