Founding Story

A business built on believing in people

Drake was founded on a simple idea: that everyone deserves the chance to reach their potential through meaningful work. Seventy-five years on, that founding belief still shapes everything we do.

“Drake has always been driven by a greater purpose. It is a business but also a force for good. Where I found my real contribution and personal joy was enabling individuals to reach their potential through meaningful work.”Bill Pollock, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, June 2026
