Staffordshire Fa Partners With Local Recruitment Specialists Clifford Stone

Staffordshire FA has recently expanded our commercial partners’ network, by developing a partnership with East Staffordshire-based recruitment firm, Clifford Stone Recruitment. 

In addition to supporting Staffordshire FA’s commercial partnerships strategy, Clifford Stone will also assist the Association with the future recruitment of staff, ensuring that we’re able to continue to target & attract a dedicated workforce who are passionate about supporting and developing local grassroots football. 

Based near the FA’s national football centre St George’s Park in East Staffordshire, Clifford Stone Recruitment helps support clients looking to expand their teams. People are the most critical part of any business, finding them, however, can be problematic. Here's where Clifford Stone can help. The company has been recruiting for many years, finding hundreds of exceptional candidates for SMEs and larger corporations.

Gareth Thomas, Commercial & Partnerships Lead at Staffordshire FA: “We are delighted to welcome on board Clifford Stone Recruitment as a valued partner of Staffordshire FA. In addition to the advice and support they will be able to provide to the Association when we are looking to recruit quality individuals to join our dedicated workforce, Darren and his team also have an excellent understanding of the grassroots football landscape, via his role as Chairman of a local grassroots football club, AFC Fradley.

“We look forward to working with Darren and his team and introducing Clifford Stone to the network of other partners who are supporting the Staffordshire FA commercial strategy, which in turn is allowing the Association to reinvest additional resources into supporting and developing grassroots football across Staffordshire.”


Darren Peck, Managing Director at Clifford Stone: “Clifford Stone is a recruitment business based in Staffordshire, who is a proud supporter of local businesses.  Upon meeting Gareth for the first time, it was clear that we wanted to be involved with Staffordshire FA as a business partner.  

“Being the Chairman of a local grassroots football club, AFC Fradley, the connection & respect had already been established. We are pleased to be able to work with Staffordshire FA and are impressed with their partner programme as a great way to support the local grassroots football community.

“At Clifford Stone, we utilise our extensive personal networks and years of sector knowledge to identify the right candidate first time with a quality-over-quantity approach. We know it only takes a single ‘right’ candidate to impact quickly and add value to a business, ranging from a Trainee to an Executive in the boardroom, whether contract, permanent or interim.

“We hope the partnership with Staffordshire FA will be a long and successful one.”
