Connections was established in 1985 by sisters Frances Alexander and Marian Dobkin with the aim of responding to business recruitment needs by providing a highly responsive, rapid service.

Marian's son, Jonathan Dobkin, joined the company in 1997 from the insurance company Sedgwicks. Her daughter Michelle Dobkin joined Connections in 1992. Both are now Directors and play a pivotal role in overseeing Connections' continuing business success.

Long established and financially secure, Connections is proud to retain its status as a privately owned, family business adhering to traditional values.
