Peter Dunphy, founder and former chief executive officer of Dryden Human Capital, has launched a new recruitment group, Financial Resourcing Group (FRG).
Fri, 7 Feb 2014 Peter Dunphy, founder and former chief executive officer of Dryden Human Capital, has launched a new recruitment group, Financial Resourcing Group (FRG).

The group will focus on building a portfolio of specialist professional recruitment companies across a number of core areas, including insurance, finance & accounting, banking, asset management and compliance/regulatory.

FRG has financial backing and support from Human Capital Investment Group (HCIG), owner of Eden Brown, Resourcing Group, Synergy Group and an additional nine recruitment businesses.

Dunphy describes the launch as “a great opportunity. Financial and professional recruitment markets are growing strongly and gaps in a usually quite saturated market have opened up”.

The launch of the group will see HCIG’s specialist actuarial recruitment firm VISER Recruitment become a subsidiary of the group.

As CEO of Dryden Human Capital, Dunphy built a group with an annual turnover in excess of £10m. The group included Darwin Rhodes, which had offices across Europe, the US and Asia, along with specialist search agencies including Edison Morgan and Nicholson International. Dunphy sold Dryden to private equity investors in 2011.
