Newcastle agency wins big at leading industry awards

An award-winning Tyneside staffing agency has scooped two awards at a big industry event.

Newcastle’s Frank Recruitment Group was named Growth Company of the Year at last night’s prestigious Recruitment International awards in London.

The firm, which focuses on the fast-growing technology recruitment market, also triumphed in the Deal of the Year category following landmark investment from TPG Growth earlier this year.

TPG Growth’s extensive portfolio includes numerous companies that, like Frank Recruitment Group, leverage opportunities for disruption – including Airbnb, Spotify, and Uber.

James Lloyd-Townshend, CEO of Frank Recruitment Group, said: “2016 has been a landmark year for Frank Recruitment Group.

“Following investment from TPG Growth in April we have leapt from four brands to six, with the introduction of Pearson Frank and Anderson Frank.

“Incredibly, we now have 1022 people working for us – compared to 607 this time last year. Our global office location count has reached 10, with new offices now open in Berlin and Philadelphia.

“As 2017 fast approaches we have huge growth plans in place. We hope to add 200 people to our team in Philadelphia alone, as well as opening further offices across the United States.

“With our business growing at such an exciting and unparalleled rate there’s never been a better time to work for us.

“Frank Recruitment Group offers unrivalled employee benefits. We provide fantastic progression opportunities and amazing relocation packages for those looking to further their career in a company that’s willing to invest in its people.”

David Head, Director of Recruitment International, said: “Congratulations to Frank Recruitment Group who were double winners at the recent RI Awards – accolades that recognise outstanding achievement in the recruitment industry.

“Picking up both the Growth Company of the Year and the Deal of Year is a real reflection of the amazing 12 months the company has had.”

Frank Recruitment Group operates six core brands, each focused on recruiting software professionals that specialise in a different technology product.

In 2007, the company launched its original brand, Nigel Frank, which recruits professionals who specialise in Microsoft Dynamics.

In addition to Nigel Frank, the company has since added:

• Mason Frank International, which recruits for Salesforce experts
• Churchill Frank, which focuses on experts in big data software
• Anderson Frank, which recruits NetSuite software professionals
• Pearson Frank, which places talent in Java, Web and PHP jobs
• Washington Frank, which specialises in staffing opportunities in emerging cloud technologies
