Kelly appoints new specialist division head

Sam Rope has been appointed head of Kelly Financial Resources (KFR) and Kelly Educational Staffing (KES) - two of Kelly’s flagship specialist service lines.

Sam has been with the company for ten years, working both in the UK and in Australia, during which time she has been instrumental in establishing several specialist business lines including insurance, permanent placement and engineering. Her new role reflects Kelly’s commitment to expand its service offering.

KFR was launched in the US in 1993 and has been a tremendous success. The UK division was launched in 2003 and has offices in London, Manchester and Crawley. Sam’s vision is to develop KFR to the point where clients and candidates will automatically recognise it as the best recruiter in the finance and accountancy sectors.

Established in the UK in 2001, KES has experienced significant growth and now has 12 regional offices across the country providing qualified primary and secondary teachers both for supply and permanent positions. In response to demand KES is expanding its offering to include teaching assistants, cover supervisors and nursery nurses.
