A decade in recruitment. Then came DROPP.
DROPP was founded by James Roberts, Managing Director and director of Dropp Rec Ltd. James started his first recruitment business, Quad Recruitment, in 2015 and built it into a specialist pharmacy and healthcare agency working across the UK and the US.
In 2024 he launched DROPP with a simple aim: drag temporary staffing in logistics into the modern day. Today it covers haulage, engineering and industrial work right across the country.
