SF Recruitment has announced the opening of its first international office in Frankfurt, Germany, marking the next stage of its continued growth journey. The new office will focus on finance & accountancy recruitment, supporting businesses and professionals across the Rhein-Main region.
The launch follows a series of major successes for SF Recruitment. In 2024, the business was recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, won Recruitment Agency of the Year at the Recruiter Awards, and CEO Saira Demmer was
named on Management Today’s Women in Leadership Power List for 2025.
With a growing presence in key hubs including Manchester, Birmingham, London and the East Midlands, SF has also recently celebrated new sector expansions and an increase in
international client demand. Leading the Frankfurt office is Lisa Drumm, Business Manager, who brings specialist expertise in Finance appointments across Accounting, Controlling, Tax, M&A and Treasury. Lisa is well known in the region for her transparent, quality-first approach. The Frankfurt office strengthens SF’s ability to support clients on both sides of the
Channel. For UK businesses, it creates a direct route to high-quality cross-border recruitment support, helping them expand seamlessly into new markets. For German businesses, it combines Lisa’s local knowledge with SF’s 26 years of proven recruitment success, delivering confidence in every hire.
To mark the launch, SF Recruitment is partnering with AICPA, CIMA and the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany e.V. (BCCG) to host its first German event, The Power of Finance Storytelling, in Berlin on 18 September. Saira Demmer, CEO of SF Recruitment, said: “Our expansion into Germany marks the start of a new and exciting phase for SF Recruitment. For more than 26 years, we have been dedicated to putting people into
jobs they love and supporting businesses with the talent they need to succeed.
Frankfurt is one of Europe’s most dynamic financial centres, and with Lisa’s expertise on the ground we are in a strong position to deliver long-term, sustainable recruitment solutions for both clients and candidates.” The Frankfurt launch represents the latest step in SF Recruitment’s expansion strategy, as the business continues to build on its success and broaden its reach across the UK and Europe.
