About Us

Recruiting for your future success

Lighthouse Personnel is a quality-focused recruitment company based in Colchester, with extensive experience in office support and professional services recruitment. We understand the importance for both candidates to be placed in a role they can thrive, grow their skill set and gain experience in, as well as employers looking for talented individuals to complement their business.

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
We are always honest and genuinely care about our relationships. We approach everything with integrity.

Transparency
We are always open and clear and keep things simple. We are available when you need us.

Reliability

Talent.
We are thorough and comprehensive in what we do. We always thrive to get things right first time.
