In 2021, Drake New Zealand celebrates 50 years in business, and Drake International celebrates our 70th anniversary.

It has been a fascinating journey from a two-man operation in Winnipeg, founded by Bill Pollock and Jim Shore, to the successful multinational company we are today.

"We started out focused on helping organizations to improve their productivity through workforce measurement, then quickly moved into providing a host of flexible and permanent staffing solutions". -Bill Pollock

From our first location in Winnipeg, Canada, Drake quickly expanded offering our solutions to more and more organisations who wanted productivity improvement through their staffing solutions. Now, 70 years later we operate in 11 countries around the globe.

Our culture is based on the fundamental core values of Respect, Agility, Pride, Passion and Integrity. Living these values is key to our organisation’s development and the ongoing success of our employees. Each year, Drake rewards its top performers from around the globe by taking them to the 100% Club - a five day team reward trip to a different destination around the world. Locations over the years have included: Moscow, Monaco, New York City, Cape Town, Barcelona, Los Angeles and many more.

Drake is honored to be associated with the University of Manitoba - Asper School of Business having donated to assist in its creation.
