David Rose Group

What David Rose Group does

The David Rose Group is a UK-based professional services firm that delivers sales recruitment and sales training through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, David Rose Recruitment and David Rose Training. The recruitment arm sources and assesses sales talent from an active database of 80,000+ candidates for placements ranging from entry-level executives to senior leaders, while the training arm runs bespoke sales performance programs delivered by trainers with a claimed 100+ years of combined sales experience, including world-record holders and professional actors. The firm packages both offerings as an integrated 'recruit-to-train' solution sold on a quote-based, bespoke engagement model.

The company operates on a sales-led, consultative go-to-market with dedicated Sales Solution Specialists routing clients to the appropriate division. Distribution is primarily direct via website forms, phone, and email, with global reach delivered virtually or face-to-face; the firm claims active engagement across 130+ countries. Marketing spans LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, an email newsletter, and Google Reviews, and customer logos span enterprise (Henry Schein, Una Health), mid-market (Driver Hire, Tool Connection), and SMB (Seven Bro7hers). There is no disclosed pricing, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/automation layer.

The firm is founder-controlled, privately held, and registered as The David Rose Group Ltd in England, with a registered office in Wilmslow and an operating team of approximately 10 people. No institutional funding, acquisitions, certifications, or regulatory actions are disclosed in the available data.
