Company history

Entrepreneurship is in our DNA

Fresh out of university (and against the advice of Richard Branson) Caroline Plumb and Charlie Osmond founded FreshMinds, with the aspiration of becoming the world’s most respected research and recruitment consultancy. More than a decade and lots of awards later, they have three fast-growing consultancies: FreshMinds Research, FreshMinds Talent and FreshNetworks. 

In setting up FreshMinds, Caroline and Charlie pioneered a flexible working model and introduced the concept of ‘Minds’. Since 2000, FreshMinds has built a network of over 25,000 Minds, a group of the sharpest analysts, consultants and researchers in Europe, who work with FreshMinds’ two business units. Minds work with FreshMinds Research to fulfil briefs for clients; they also make up the candidate pool FreshMinds Talent draws on to find outstanding executives, graduates and interim consultants.

Since FreshMinds was established in 2000, we’ve grown at a terrific rate, won numerous awards for our achievements and never looked back. Our ability to challenge assumptions and provide access to bright, motivated individuals continues to win us client after client, from multinational blue chips to public sector organisations.

You can really pick up on the entrepreneurial background and culture here, I'm really excited about the future of FreshMinds - being part of something with such ambitious targets.
