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:

  1. Our drive to guide all who we work with in the right direction
  2. Gerard grew up next to a local Lighthouse
  3. A representation of Gerard and Rosey’s faith
