Who We Are

Our Director Donna Rawlings formed Franklin Pope in 2008 following the successful launch of their recruitment business Specialist Resourcing in 2007 (www.specialistresourcing.co.uk)

“Our vision was simple - we wanted to create the type of consultancy that we as candidates or hiring managers had always wanted.”

To achieve this, building the right team with a positive attitude and complementary skills was critical....
