About lighthouse personnel
Recruiting for your future success
Lighthouse Personnel was founded in December 2017 by Gerard & Rosemary Francis in their 18-month-old daughter’s bedroom, with a vision of changing the recruitment landscape. The name 'Lighthouse' was chosen to symbolise the following 3 things:
- our drive to guide all who we work with in the right direction on their journey
- a demonstration of being local, with Gerard growing up next to a local Lighthouse
- a representation of Gerard and Rosey's faith
Our core values are trust, transparency, reliability and talent.
