<p>For anyone who&rsquo;s worked with Brian, they will say he&rsquo;s a dream to work with&hellip; Why? It becomes evident in this interview, where he describes his self-motivation, his mindset for work class basics and self drive to continuously strive for better&hellip; personally and professionally.

Join us in helping make a difference.

<p>This year, our London office not only reached but surpassed their charity target, becoming the third office to achieve this milestone! Their exceptional dedication is making a real difference in the community. We caught up with the team to hear all about their exciting journey, creative fundraising ideas, and what made this year's efforts so impactful.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here's what our chair of the London committee, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/edbevans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ed Bevans</a>, had to say:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Tell us about the charity your office chose to support&mdash;why does it mean something to you?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;The charity for the London office this year is <a href="https://designability.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Designability</a>. They have been <a href="https://www.sciproglobal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SciPro&rsquo;s</a> charity partner for the past five years, and I was excited to have the full support of the London office in our fundraising efforts.</p>
<p>Designability is a UK-based charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through innovative design solutions. Their mission is to create products and services that empower individuals to live with greater independence and dignity.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/oam3hn8ykhkk3tweex3oiooy4q98"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/oam3hn8ykhkk3tweex3oiooy4q98" alt="" width="500" height="281"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>What was your fundraising goal, and how did you come up with that number?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;Our fundraising goal was &pound;5,000&mdash;the amount it costs Designability to produce a Wizzybug, an electric wheelchair designed to help children with rare muscular diseases gain greater independence in their lives."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Why did you pick this charity for 2024? What drew you to it?</strong></h5>
<p>"SciPro is our Life Sciences recruitment brand, and originally, we wanted a life sciences based charity partner. The WizzyBug is a fully regulated medical device, so in 2018, when I first met Designability, the partnership made sense.</p>
<p>Since then, Designability has grown its offering and now designs and manufactures a number of products for individuals with disabilities. One of the products they designed was a charger for electric vehicles, a product closely aligned with our Clean Energy brand, <a href="https://www.pipermaddox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piper Maddox.</a></p>
<p>Additionally, in the years before Designability became the official London charity, we had raised &pound;15,000 for them, and we were really keen to hit the &pound;20k+ milestone with the help of the whole office.</p>
<p>With a direct connection to two of the three brands in the office, plus the relationship we&rsquo;ve built with the team there and the milestone figure of &pound;20,000, Designability was the perfect pick for London&rsquo;s 2024 charity partner."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>What&rsquo;s been your favourite moment or the most rewarding part of working on this charity project?</strong></h5>
<p>"My favourite moment has been the Masquerade Black Tie Ball. Firstly, it was great to spend time with such dedicated and creative individuals from the London CSR committee. On top of that, it was a lot of fun to organise a gala ball for the entire office, and then have the chance to blow off steam and enjoy the night when it finally happened!</p>
<p>Close behind that was being invited by the team at Designability to attend the Third Sector Awards, which was a massive event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in Hyde Park. Dario Canini from Designability was nominated for an award. It was amazing to spend time with the team from Designability and learn about the incredible work from so many UK charities.</p>
<p>My least favourite moment was 20 kilometers into the Battersea half marathon&mdash;just as the pain started kicking in!"</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/ugl3wc3xa7hyj3ekzphf39ph7mui" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>How did your team hit the target and make an impact in the community?</strong></h5>
<p>"We raised funds through a variety of methods. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-dacey-03b01810a/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Dacey</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellisward09/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ellis Ward</a> both ran a half marathon, while <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliverwood-/">Oliver Wood</a> took on the Three Peaks Challenge. Nick Mahoney completed an ultra marathon.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-bouvier-63b607210/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Bouvier</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/margareth-dauphard-57200214b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Margareth Dauphard</a> did a sensational job organising a black-tie gala event, which became a real highlight&mdash;not just for the CSR team, but for the London office in 2024.</p>
<p>We also participated in a Thames River Clean-Up, spending a morning removing litter from the Thames (you&rsquo;d be amazed at what washes up!)."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Did your team come up with any cool or creative fundraising ideas that you&rsquo;d suggest to others?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;The black-tie gala was excellent, featuring an auction, the opportunity to &ldquo;buy&rdquo; time off for a late start, and several smaller ways to raise money.&nbsp;Other than that, it was all hard work and the dedication of so many people in the London office who were passionate about supporting Designability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/wgmazx9nn8ujlph120p9dnk774kq" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>A Huge Shoutout!</strong></h5>
<p>A massive well done to Ed, chair of the committee, and the entire London office for their hard work and commitment in not only reaching but surpassing their charity target! Their enthusiasm and teamwork have set the bar high, inspiring all of us to get involved and make a positive impact in our communities.</p>

Want to have your own LHi adventure?

<p class="MsoNormal">At LHi Group, we&rsquo;re all about embracing adventure, both at work and in life. That&rsquo;s why, after five years with us, our LHi&rsquo;ers earn the coveted LHi Passport, allowing them to experience a week at any of our global offices.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, meet colleagues from all corners of the globe, and expand your horizons.</p>
<p>In line with our identity statement, &ldquo;We are adventurous,&rdquo; this benefit is all about exploring, connecting, and stepping out of your comfort zone. In this series, we&rsquo;ll hear from those who have recently used their LHi Passport, sharing their experiences and the impact it&rsquo;s had on them.</p>
<p>First up, we&rsquo;re hearing from our Talent Partner, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/goodhumanheadhunter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Westwood!</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Which global office did you choose for your LHi Passport trip, and why?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">I chose Munich in May 2024 because I wanted to explore more of Europe after returning from the States. It's close to countries like Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, so I thought it could be a great opportunity for a two-in-one trip.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Could you share some details about what you did during your time there?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's a short flight from the UK, and about an hour from the airport, and you&rsquo;re in the centre.&nbsp; We spent four days in Munich, getting around on the tram - which is super easy to get around on. Spent time in the English gardens &ndash; beautiful (check out the surfers), visited some cool museums, and took in some culture with our resident tour guide <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patriciaschwenk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patricia</a> (TA &amp; L&amp;D) and naturally <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-perkins-89a45810b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dan</a> (Head of LHi Munich) took us out to some quintessential Bavarian dining!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following this, we rented a car and drove 4 hours to Lake Garda in Italy for a week&hellip; what&rsquo;s not to love?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/a1dyssbgyu4pcp93mld1yg1965vm" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>How was your experience? What were your thoughts on that particular office?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fantastic office location, vibey environment &amp; super cool people. The team was very welcoming to me and my family. There are plenty of food spots nearby and, of course...pubs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>What was the most memorable moment of your experience?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was definitely going for dinner with Patricia and Dan with the family&hellip; lovely gesture for them to come out with us and have some free child care! Close second, watching the office wrap up the week with a crazy water spitting in the face game&hellip; I guess you had to be there!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/fz8nfrdwnw5tdr65dvxil4d2iy8e" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>What&rsquo;s your top tip that you would give someone preparing for their own LHi Passport adventure?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step outside your comfort zone and go somewhere you don&rsquo;t know many people in the office.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Prepare &ndash; Let them know you are thinking / are going and ensure there will be a good crowd about&hellip; they will prompt the office to be available to show you around.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, embrace it. Live like a local, go to their usual lunch spots, watering holes &amp; get involved in their weekly activities&hellip;. You never know, you might like it so much it could be you&rsquo;re new home!</p>

The LHi Passport Spotlight: James' adventure

If you could see yourself following in Jim's footsteps, start your journey today

<p>At LHi, we love celebrating the fantastic contributions of our long-standing team members! Our "10 for 10" interview series explores the lives of those who have spent an incredible ten years plus with us. We ask ten fun questions that highlight their LHi journey, favourite moments, and a lot of laughs! Plus, we&rsquo;ll discover how they plan to use their 'gift of time'&mdash;will it be an epic month-long sabbatical or a shiny Rolex watch?&nbsp;</p>
<p>This time, we&rsquo;re excited to dive into the LHi adventure of our CEO, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrdenning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Denning!</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What were your first impressions of LHi?&nbsp;</span></strong></h5>
<p>My initial impression of LHi was that it was a company people genuinely loved working for. There was something in the air&mdash;it was clear that LHi was built by talented individuals who had created an incredible atmosphere and a business that truly punches above its weight in terms of size.</p>
<p>Above all, I felt a genuine desire within the business to improve, scale, and leave its mark on the industry.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">If you had to pick one LHi moment, what has been your favourite over the past 10 years? </span></strong></h5>
<p>Hosting the 2020 &ldquo;LHi Experience&rdquo; in South Africa, just prior to the pandemic, was unforgettable. We had 25 of the best and brightest performers from across the group fly into Cape Town, where we spent time in the Winelands before heading out on a two-day safari. These incentive trips are always incredible experiences, but so many moments stood out during this trip&mdash;whether it was the tears of joy from the group witnessing the Big Five (especially the lions) for the first time, hosting the best LHi lunch club ever on a wine estate, or my personal highlight: watching the sunset over Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain with a glass of red in hand and 25 true friends for company. It just doesn&rsquo;t get much better than this!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What advice would you give to your 'Younger You'? </span></strong></h5>
<p>Imposter syndrome is natural, but the key to overcoming it, is to walk headfirst towards it. Do this as often as you can, and don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask others for help! Embrace all the challenges that LHi offers, and raise your hand to take on as much as you can.</p>
<p>Take a moment now and then to enjoy the journey and appreciate the people who are with you for the ride. But above all else, join LHi sooner!</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What is your favourite thing about LHi? </span></strong></h5>
<p>This is quite a personal sentiment for me, but I believe it captures the essence of the company&mdash;what I call the &ldquo;stardust.&rdquo; Throughout my time here, and despite the growth we&rsquo;ve experienced, that essence has remained unchanged. This &ldquo;stardust&rdquo; is the feeling you get when you walk into an LHi office (no matter where you are in the world) and how it instantly brings a smile to your face. It&rsquo;s the stories of people achieving growth, development, and success&mdash;sometimes beyond what they realised they were capable of&mdash;and then watching everyone celebrate that person with genuine happiness. That&rsquo;s what will always make LHi special for me.</p>

<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What are the biggest changes you&rsquo;ve seen over the past 10+ years at LHi? </span></strong></h5>
<p>Wow, how long do you have? I feel incredibly blessed to work alongside so many individuals in the group who have been at LHi for over five years. The biggest change I&rsquo;ve witnessed is the growth and transformation of so many people I feel I&rsquo;ve grown up with here. It&rsquo;s been an absolute privilege to see individuals from all corners of our group evolve into better people, recruiters, and leaders. This journey has significantly reshaped the company from a scrappy 30-person business to the firm we are today.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Where did you go with your LHi Passport 5 years ago? </span></strong></h5>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been very fortunate in my career at LHi to have had the opportunity to travel to all of our offices multiple times (except for our newest Miami office). I never got around to using that passport incentive, but perhaps a trip to Miami in 2025 might be on the cards!</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What does the future hold for you at LHi? </span></strong></h5>
<p>Opportunity&mdash;that&rsquo;s the overriding feeling I have when I think about LHi&rsquo;s future and how my future is intertwined with it. I feel very fortunate to be a custodian of LHi and to play a part in shaping its future. That future is built on the premise of ensuring we provide as many people as possible the chance to step out of their comfort zones and embrace opportunities for adventure, development, and growth. Being able to help others and watch them seize these opportunities is truly a privileged position.</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Who has been your biggest inspiration at LHi?&nbsp;</span></strong></h5>
<p>It&rsquo;s very tough to single out one person, but there are three individuals who share a similar inspirational story. Whenever I experience moments of self-doubt or don&rsquo;t quite feel at my best, thinking of their stories and passion for the business helps me regain my footing. These individuals are <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardsonben/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Richardson</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikebott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Bott</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgeorgiou/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Georgiou</a>. Together, they have a combined 41 years of service at LHi, each starting their recruitment careers as rookies before the company had more than 20 employees.</p>
<p>They have witnessed the ebb and flow of LHi&rsquo;s growth, from TG&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomglanfield/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Tom Glanfield)</a> flat to a 400-person global recruitment firm. Along the way, they&rsquo;ve worn many different hats, travelled the world, launched offices and brands, and even broken new ground for LHi on different continents. These three have climbed every rung of the ladder at LHi and now sit at the top of our business as members of the C-Suite, each responsible for driving the company forward and ensuring we continue to improve.</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s even more incredible is that, despite their 41 years of service, all three show up every day with even more passion and excitement for what they do than they did ten years ago when I first met them.</p>
<p>Tenure is rare in recruitment, and I believe LHi&rsquo;s success in breaking the recruitment mold sets us apart from many other firms. These three individuals are the inspirational figures who motivate others in our group (including myself) to aim to walk in their shoes one day.</p>

<h5 style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What would you say to anyone thinking about joining LHi?</span></strong></h5>
<p>Make sure to ask lots of questions and understand our ethos and what LHi is all about. Try to hear as many stories (both successful and challenging) from the people you&rsquo;ll be working with. Then, ask yourself if you are open to committing to being the best version of yourself and consistently pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. As long as your answer to those questions is 'yes', then go for it! It&rsquo;s a decision you won&rsquo;t regret today, and your future self will thank you for making it!</p>

<p>My wife and I welcomed our second child into the world, and I used the gift of time to spend a little longer with our newborn than usual. It was great to have that time!&nbsp;</p>

Want to start your LHi Adventure?

<p class="MsoNormal">At LHi Group, we&rsquo;re all about embracing adventure, both at work and in life. That&rsquo;s why, after five years with us, our LHi&rsquo;ers earn the coveted LHi Passport, allowing them to experience a week at any of our global offices.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, meet colleagues from all corners of the globe, and expand your horizons.</p>
<p>In line with our identity statement, &ldquo;We are adventurous,&rdquo; this benefit is all about exploring, connecting, and stepping out of your comfort zone. In this series, we&rsquo;ll hear from those who have recently used their LHi Passport, sharing their experiences and the impact it&rsquo;s had on them.</p>
<p>This time, we&rsquo;re hearing from our&nbsp;<span class="cf0">Design &amp; Brand Manager, </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewis-cornwall-4b609a84/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lewis Cornwall:</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Which global office did you choose for your LHi Passport trip, and why?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">I chose the New York office because it's definitely one of my favorite cities in the world! I wanted to get a sense of what it's like working in such an influential city. Since New York was LHi Group's first US office, I wanted to experience it in person after eight years of working here.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>How was your experience? What were your thoughts on that particular office?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was a lot of fun! I was able to balance the LHi Passport experience with enjoying my time in New York, exploring the city and its different boroughs, and finally meeting some of the US team members I've worked with but never had the pleasure of meeting in person. I think it's always important for our teams around the world to meet the Operations department that supports them in their day-to-day work. It helps build strong working relationships and puts a name to the face after meeting in person!</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>Could you share some details about what you did during your time there?</strong></h5>
<p>Outside of work, I explored different areas of the city, checked out a lot of food spots, museums, and bars. There's so much diversity in New York, and it shows in the variety of places and experiences. Even just walking around and observing people going about their daily routines is something I enjoy! People are surprisingly friendly too&mdash;I think there's a perception of New York as a cold, tough place, which it can be. But I met so many nice people who were always up for a chat&mdash;I loved that!</p>
<p>For work, I had in-person meetings with some people in my department, which was great. I got to observe the routines of the NY office and see how the teams interact with each other. It was a chance to meet lots of people I&rsquo;d heard of but hadn&rsquo;t met yet&mdash;plus a few drinks on Friday made it even better!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/ckg6ivrs9ubrx9p17572j39ptiks" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>What was the most memorable moment of your experience?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">Honestly, just how massive and surreal the city is! There&rsquo;s that clich&eacute; about &lsquo;New York feeling like a movie,&rsquo; but it really does&mdash;especially for someone like me, where the novelty hasn&rsquo;t worn off yet. There was this perfect golden hour in Central Park mid-week where we just sat and watched everyone enjoying their evening.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Williamsburg was also a lot of fun! And the BAGELS... I&rsquo;ll be dreaming about some of those New York bagels until I can have them again.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/9vtq2cvd5hbnbuy2z4ryb8e597kl" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<h5 class="MsoNormal"><strong>What&rsquo;s your top tip that you would give someone preparing for their own LHi Passport adventure?</strong></h5>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just take in as much of wherever you're going as possible! I don&rsquo;t get to visit North America often, so I made sure to soak it all up&mdash;10 miles of walking a day! Try new things and enjoy every moment.</p>

In those shoes | S1 E6

<p class="MsoNormal">This year, our Bristol office has hit their charity target, becoming the second office to achieve this milestone! Their incredible dedication is making a real difference in the community. We caught up with the Bristol team to hear all about their fun journey, creative fundraising ideas, and what made this year's efforts so impactful.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here's what our chair of the Bristol committee, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-holmes-b47756162/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Holmes</a> had to say:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Tell us about the charity your office chose to support&mdash;why does it mean something to you?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;This year, Bristol have been raising money for Avon Needs Trees.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>Avon Needs Trees is a Bristol-based charity dedicated to buying, planting, and preserving land for reforestation in the Bristol-Avon catchment area. Their mission is to create sustainable and healthy ecosystems that benefit both people and wildlife in the region.</p>
<p>The Bristol Avon area has been severely affected by deforestation over the last few decades and this charity looks to combat that and provide a long-term solution.</p>
<p><br>Bristol being a <a href="https://www.pipermaddox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piper Maddox</a> office, we are very passionate about sustainability. This charity aligns nicely with our passion and allowed us to support a local charity and the wider Bristol community! "</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/dhh5c6fljoetkbr4itq0mg5sqnlm" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>What was your fundraising goal, and how did you come up with that number?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;Our fundraising goal was &pound;2,000. Based on last year's target of &pound;1,000 and a few new people in the office, I thought this would be a great figure to aim for. But this won't slow us down! We're continuing to hold fundraising events this quarter along with volunteer days to further our impact in the community.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Why did you pick this charity for 2024? What drew you to it?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;We gave the Bristol office a chance to find a local charity that they felt resonated with our values and mission. Everyone with a charity choice pitched to the office about why we should choose their charity, and Avon Needs Trees was a clear winner.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Avon Needs Trees being Bristol-based and well aligned with Piper Maddox&rsquo;s sustainability mission, made it a great choice for this year's charity."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>What&rsquo;s been your favorite moment or the most rewarding part of working on this charity project?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;So far, the most rewarding fund-raising project has been the Tree Maintenance day we spent with our charity partner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The whole office spent a day with our Avon Needs Trees helping them maintain the Tree saplings that were planted last winter. With all 21 of the Bristol office helping, we were able to make a considerable contribution to making sure that the Tree&rsquo;s that were planted in Winter were well kept and increase their survival rate.&rdquo;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/z7khsxoxax6lvqxdpmrhzmq84cnv" alt="" width="500" height="281"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>How did your team hit the target and make an impact in the community?</strong></h5>
<p>"We have been consistently doing lots of little charity raising schemes throughout the year. Our biggest money-raising event has been the Tree Maintenance day where we were really able to add value to our charity partner and make a positive impact on the community.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Did your team come up with any cool or creative fundraising ideas that you&rsquo;d suggest to others?</strong></h5>
<p>&ldquo;Charity Poker Night, Spanish tapas, Various Pub crawls and we have a few events still to come &ndash; Tree planting day with Avon Needs Trees and the infamous Christmas Hootenanny!"</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>A Huge Shoutout!</strong></h5>
<p>A massive well done to Jamie, chair of the committee, along with the entire Bristol office for their hard work and commitment in reaching their charity target! Their enthusiasm and teamwork have truly set the bar high, inspiring us all to get involved and make a positive impact in our communities.</p>

LHi Bristol reaches charity goal for Avon Needs Trees!

<p>This year, our Miami office took the lead, hitting their charity target and continuing to raise even more! As the first office to reach their goal, they&rsquo;ve set an incredible example for everyone. Their amazing dedication is making a real difference in the community. We caught up with the Miami team to hear all about their fun journey, creative fundraising ideas, and what made this year's efforts so impactful.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Tell us about the charity your office chose to support&mdash;why does it mean something to you?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;We chose to support Camillus House, a Miami-Dade County charity that provides humanitarian services to the local community. Camillus House serves the hungry, homeless, and forgotten by providing food, housing, and medical care. Supporting a local charity was super important to us as we aim to truly embed ourselves in Miami life.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What was your fundraising goal, and how did you come up with that number?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;We set a goal at the beginning of the year to raise $1,000. We picked this number because, at the start of the year, we were a small team of six or seven people. We wanted to keep things realistic, knowing we&rsquo;d grow, but not sure when. $1,000 felt like a solid target, and we managed to rally our family and friends to help us reach it!&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Why did you pick this charity for 2024? What drew you to it?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;We chose Camillus House as our office charity because homelessness is a growing issue across the U.S. We believe the best way to drive change is to start local! Camillus House offers housing programs and workforce development initiatives. Their hands-on approach to improving lives is a fantastic cause to get behind.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What&rsquo;s been your favorite moment or the most rewarding part of working on this charity project?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Hitting our target halfway through the year was a huge highlight and a testament to the commitment of our team, their friends, and families. Our charity quiz night and mini-golf tournament were also great fun, bringing out some classic recruiter competitiveness!&rdquo;</p>
<pre><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.sourceflow.co.uk/wqwa9fvt2e08m4a3d575dlf97d0d" alt="" width="500" height="304"></pre>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How did your team hit the target and make an impact in the community?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;We hit the target by keeping up with consistent quarterly events and maintaining a steady stream of fundraising through office fines. It was a team effort all the way!&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Did your team come up with any cool or creative fundraising ideas that you&rsquo;d suggest to others?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Fundraising ideas usually depend on how many people you can invite! Since we had a smaller office, we couldn&rsquo;t host huge events, but we turned that into an advantage by inviting friends and family to create a lively atmosphere that helped raise more for charity. We kept our events simple and fun&mdash;quizzes were a hit, and our mini-golf tournament brought a lot of laughter!&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;One of my favorite ideas was teaming up with NYC&rsquo;s race night event in Q1. Coming from New York, I&rsquo;ve always loved race nights, so when they reached out to see if we wanted to host our own, we jumped on it! For St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day we got creative&mdash;dressing up as four-leaf clovers and holding a beach race. The NY office and the Board even picked which consultant they wanted to win, and all proceeds went to Camillus House!&rdquo;</p>

Want to be part of a workplace where you can thrive?

<p>LHi Group is thrilled to announce that we&rsquo;re on the global Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces&reg; list, certified by Newsweek. This recognition highlights our commitment to creating a positive work environment and offering amazing opportunities for our employees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After achieving notable rankings on both the US and UK lists in 2023, we aimed even higher this year, going global and ranking 41st on this year's global Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces&reg; list. This achievement further enhances our standing and reaffirms our dedication to fostering an exceptional workplace culture worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>"We are immensely proud to be recognised as one of the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces&reg; globally," said Jim Denning, CEO. "This achievement is a testament to the collective efforts of our talented team and their unwavering commitment to excellence."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The results were determined after surveying more than two million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 30 to more than 10,000. Newsweek&rsquo;s ranking of the Most Loved Workplaces highlights companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the centre of their business model, earning the loyalty and respect of their people.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The list was created with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development center. BPI conducted thorough research to identify the management practices that lead to employee motivation and satisfaction, and documented the strong link between worker satisfaction and productivity. Based on that research, BPI measured five key areas via surveys to determine how employees feel about where they work to create the Most Loved Workplaces list:</p>
<ol>
<li>The level of collaboration at the firm</li>
<li>How positive workers are about their future at the company</li>
<li>How much employer values align with employee values</li>
<li>Respect at all levels</li>
<li>Career achievement</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ranking reflects feedback from employees who shared what they love most about working at LHi Group. Clodagh Quigg, Recruitment Consultant, said, "What I love most about LHi Group is definitely the people." Our UK/EUR People Engagement Specialist, Reesha Patel, added, "I love LHi Group because it's given me the opportunity to learn a whole new skill set and a new specialism that my previous company didn't offer."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>LHi Group's inclusion in the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces list reaffirms our position as a global leader in employee satisfaction and highlights our ongoing efforts to create a workplace where individuals can thrive personally and professionally.</p>

Hot off the Press: LHi makes the global top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®

<p>Recently, our CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrdenning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Denning</a> appeared on <a href="https://mostlovedworkplace.com/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Leader Show</a>, a podcast hosted by Lou Carter, CEO of <a href="https://mostlovedworkplace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Most Loved Workplace&reg;.</a> Jim's journey from starting at Huntress Group in 2006 to becoming the CEO of LHi Group in 2020 has been nothing short of inspirational. His diverse experiences across the UK, EUR, and the US have massively influenced his leadership style, which is rooted in the concepts of &ldquo;Younger You&rdquo; and &ldquo;Future You.&rdquo; During the episode, he touches on the importance of being a "good human" and shares insights into his journey and leadership philosophies that have driven LHi&rsquo;s success.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Preserving &ldquo;Stardust&rdquo;: Leadership and Hiring at LHi Group</strong></p>
<p>During the podcast, Jim and Lou discussed the challenges of maintaining LHi&rsquo;s unique culture, or &ldquo;stardust,&rdquo; as we call it. He talks about the importance of clear communication and ethical hiring practices to preserve this identity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>"The stardust is fragile and can easily dissipate during expansion. Our strategy is to ensure that every new hire aligns with our values and represents our brand authentically,"</em> Jim noted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>LHi&rsquo;s commitment to hiring &ldquo;good humans&rdquo; who resonate with the company&rsquo;s ethos is central to our recruitment strategy. This approach helps sustain a vibrant and cohesive company culture, even as we grow and enter new markets.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Embracing &ldquo;Younger You&rdquo; and &ldquo;Future You&rdquo; to Foster Growth and Empathy</strong></p>
<p>Jim&rsquo;s leadership philosophies, &ldquo;Younger You&rdquo; and &ldquo;Future You,&rdquo; are foundational to LHi&rsquo;s success. To find out more about these philosophies, click <a href="https://www.wearelhi.com/our-philosophies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here.</a> Inspired by the New Zealand rugby team&rsquo;s ethos of leaving the jersey in a better place, &ldquo;Younger You&rdquo; focuses on providing support to new hires, recognising the inherent challenges in recruitment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>"We aim to create an environment where new hires can thrive despite these challenges. It&rsquo;s about empathy and ensuring that the work environment is as supportive as one would want for their own child,"</em> Jim elaborated.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Future You&rdquo; philosophy encourages employees to pursue their aspirations, aligning personal and professional growth. This is particularly significant in LHi&rsquo;s employee-owned structure, which fosters a sense of ownership and commitment among employees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>"We engage with our team members about their aspirations and support them in progressing towards these goals within and potentially beyond the company," </em>Jim said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Impact of becoming an Employee Ownership Trust at LHi Group</strong></p>
<p>Jim also discussed the role of LHi&rsquo;s Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) in maintaining a strong company culture. He acknowledged the challenges but highlighted the benefits of this structure in promoting accountability and feedback.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>"The EOT has created numerous opportunities for feedback and accountability, crucial for maintaining our culture. We ensure that employees feel they are progressing, which contributes to a positive and engaging workplace," </em>Jim explained.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jim emphasises the importance of transparency and receptiveness to feedback from all levels within the company. This open communication helps sustain the &ldquo;stardust&rdquo; that defines LHi&rsquo;s unique culture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>"Being transparent about mistakes and the steps taken to correct them fosters a feedback-rich environment essential for our culture," </em>Jim concluded.</p>

Do you want to be part of making a difference?

<p>Every year, our global offices select a charity of their choice to support in raising funds and awareness. This year, our London office chose to collaborate with Designability to help make a difference.</p>
<h4>&nbsp;</h4>
<p><strong>WHO IS DESIGNABILITY?</strong></p>
<p>Designability is a charitable organisation dedicated to crafting medical devices and products aimed at aiding disabled individuals in their daily lives. The Wizzybug stands out as an electric wheelchair tailored specifically for preschool children facing conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy, which limit their mobility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recently, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-hulley-ba231b13b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Hulley,</a> Principal Consultant at <a href="https://www.sciproglobal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SciPro</a>, our life sciences recruitment brand, spoke with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-ford-3452a010/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Ford,</a> Head of Engineering and Design at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/designabilityuk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Designability.</a> Together, they shed light on the remarkable work being done by Designability, particularly focusing on one of their transformative products, the Wizzybug.</p>
<p>During their conversation, Matt shared insights into his journey and his pivotal role at Designability. He highlighted the challenges the organisation encounters and outlined ways individuals can contribute to providing support for more young disabled children to access the Wizzybug.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Matt, with an industrial design background and a passion for meaningful impact, heads Engineering and Design at Designability, overseeing user research, product design, and manufacturing.</li>
<li>Founded in 1968 by Engineer Bevan Horstmann and Surgeon Kenneth Lloyd-Williams, Designability initially focused on pediatric medical equipment before transitioning to products for people with disabilities.</li>
<li>The Wizzybug, launched in 2005, empowers children with mobility and independence, positively impacting their lives.</li>
<li>Designability's national loan scheme provides Wizzybugs free of charge to families with disabled children, aiming to reach the next 1000th loan by 2026 through manufacturing expansion and enhanced outreach efforts.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><br><strong>HOW CAN YOU HELP?</strong></p>
<p>There are a number of ways to support Designability, from organising fundraising events to donating to the cause and raising awareness. So far this year at LHi London, we have had Easter egg hunts, fundraising for our very own <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-mahoney-a36678168/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nick Mahoney&rsquo;s</a> ultra marathon, with lots of events coming in this quarter including an LHi sports day, themed movie night, Euro&rsquo;s sweepstake, payday lottery, and lots more.</p>
<p>We aim to raise the funds to provide a child with a Wizzybug, with each Wizzybug costing &pound;5,000. Your sponsorship can make a real difference in helping another family and contributing to Designability's mission.</p>

Prioritising mental health at work: World Mental Health Day 2023

<p>As the UK marks Black History Month, we recognise and celebrate the remarkable contributions and accomplishments of Black individuals throughout history. This occasion prompts us to consider the significance of UK Black History Month and, most importantly, to contemplate how we can cultivate a workplace culture that is truly inclusive for all.</p>
<p>In this article, we will delve into the importance of this month and examine strategies that your organisation can employ to promote greater inclusivity in the workplace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>UK Black History Month: A Time For Reflection And Celebration</h4>
<p><br>UK Black History Month takes place every October and is an opportunity to really recognise and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black history, culture, and contributions to British society. It is a time to acknowledge the struggles, resilience, and achievements of Black individuals and communities. By doing so, we not only pay homage to their legacies but also challenge ourselves to confront systemic inequalities that persist in our society today.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>The Importance Of Inclusive Workplace Culture</h4>
<p><br>Creating an inclusive workplace culture is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic one. A diverse workforce brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences, which can drive innovation and enhance productivity. An inclusive workplace culture goes beyond merely having diversity; it ensures that all employees, regardless of their background, feel valued, respected, and able to contribute their best work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What Steps Can We Take Towards Fostering An Inclusive Workplace Culture?</h4>
<h5><br><strong>Educate and raise awareness</strong></h5>
<p><br>Use UK Black History Month as an opportunity to educate employees about the historical and cultural significance of the month. Offer workshops, seminars, or discussion forums to promote further understanding. At LHi, we take pride in our commitment to diversity and inclusion, demonstrated through our dedicated platform, LHi-IN, where various employee-led communities drive our journey to new heights of inclusivity. To find out more, click here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Open Dialogue</strong></h5>
<p><br>Create a safe and open environment for employees to discuss issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Encourage dialogue, listen to concerns, and take action to address them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Review HR Practices</strong></h5>
<p><br>Examine your HR policies and practices to identify and rectify any potential biases. Ensure that your recruitment, promotion, and compensation processes are fair and equitable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5><strong>Lead by Example</strong></h5>
<p><br>Everyone in the team, whether you're a leader or a team member, plays a part in setting the tone for your team. So, don't hold back&mdash;lead the way by showing what it means to be inclusive. This can be done by ensuring everyone collaborates to address any biases constructively. Leading by example can have a ripple effect, positively impacting your team and the broader company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>WHO IS SURFRIDER FOUNDATION?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and improving the health of the world's oceans, waves, and beaches, ensuring access for all now and in the future. Their goal is to create a world where clean water, vibrant beaches, and thriving marine ecosystems are enjoyed by everyone. Through their work and collaborative efforts, they inspire positive change and advocate for the preservation of our coastal environments.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>WHAT DID WE GET UP TO?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Braving the sun and sand, our LA office came together to take part in a beach cleanup event. Armed with gloves and bags, they combed the shores, picking up litter and debris that threatened our coastlines. But it wasn't just about cleaning up &ndash; it was about making a difference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Together, our LA office collected an incredible 19 pounds of trash but, their commitment didn't end there. With dedication and care, they carefully sorted through the collected waste, gathering valuable data. This information will be instrumental in supporting policy advocates, providing them with concrete numbers to bolster their coastal advocacy work, campaigns, and legislative initiatives.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A round of applause for our LA office for their dedication to making a positive impact on our coastlines, and to commemorate their amazing work, they celebrated by having a silent disco on the beach. Together, we can continue to protect&nbsp; these invaluable natural treasures for generations to come.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Board of LHi Group is pleased to announce that they have completed on the sale of approximately 80% of the company share capital to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) giving every employee now and in the future a 6 figure stake in the business.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/06DyRimRw14?si=XS1pGZHdR5AWUDAv" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Chairman James Ash comments <em>&ldquo;This deal is the culmination of a 5-year plan that has seen the business transform into a $100m turnover, multi brand market specialist with 8 International offices and over 300 staff. Having looked at both trade and private equity options we were ultimately most attracted to the EOT structure which means we will continue as an employee owned business. Tom Glanfield was incredibly generous to previously allocate half the equity in the company to over a hundred option holders and now the EOT structure allows us to expand on this ethos. I&rsquo;m extremely grateful to our CFO Ed Parkes who, with his team, has done a fantastic job of getting this deal done alongside advisors Grant Thornton, Moorcrofts and Shoosmiths.&rdquo;</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Tom Glanfield started his business using a graduate loan 20 years ago.<em> &ldquo;This is the biggest day in the history of LHi since that first morning when I started working from my attic. Together we can look back on the legacy of the first 20 years with an incredible sense of achievement. I&rsquo;m so proud of what we have all accomplished and delighted to see so much wealth created now and so much that will be created in the future with this new ownership structure.&rdquo;</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The LHi Board and Management team remain unchanged with Tom Glanfield remaining a shareholder and continuing as a non-executive director. The company has exciting plans to double in size over the next 3 years through continued growth of specialist brands operating in some of the fastest growing market segments in the recruitment industry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Recently, the Group - which includes the brands <a href="https://www.lawrenceharvey.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence Harvey</a>, <a href="https://www.sciproglobal.com/">SciPro</a>, <a href="https://www.pipermaddox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piper Maddox</a>, <a href="https://www.harperharrison.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harper Harrison</a> and <a href="https://www.wearexps.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XPS</a> &ndash; has achieved the number one spot in two of the latest Best Companies rankings. Now that award winning culture is combined with an employee ownership structure that will see all current and future employees become members of a trust that owns 80% of the group.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">CEO Jim Denning comments <em>&ldquo;LHi has always been a special place, one with a certain stardust that you have to be in it to really feel and understand what makes it great. From today, we have an opportunity to take this business into a whole new dimension by combining the best culture in the industry with a vehicle that creates true wealth not just for those at the very top but opportunity and wealth for each and every person from associate consultants to CEO. The previous option scheme was amazing but with the EOT in place for the next part of the journey it really is game changing in the industry.&rsquo;</em></span></p>

LHi Group moves to an employee ownership trust where all employees will have a 6 figure stake in the company

<h2>Career tips, advice, news <br>and a lot more.</h2>

<h1>Our philosophies have been developed organically over the years and all our people to leave a legacy within the group. They’ve helped shape the business we are today.</h1>

<p>If you&rsquo;re wanting to be part of a company that cares about their people and their futures then LHi might be just the place for you.</p>

<h2>Resonate with our philosophies... Want to learn more about joining us?</h2>

<p>Originating from a 2018 leadership summit, the "Younger You" philosophy has guided LHi towards a 'people-first' approach, prioritising the hiring, development, and retention of 'good humans'.</p>
<p>Our leaders abide by a simple mantra: <strong>"The journey for those coming after us must be better, happier, and smoother."</strong></p>
<p>This philosophy is symbolised by our 'Younger You' white Converse trainers where each LHi&rsquo;er receives a pair when they reach a certain management level, stamped with the year they began their career&mdash;a tangible reminder to walk in the shoes of our 'Younger You'.</p>

<p>Originating from a 2018 leadership summit, before Jim Denning became CEO of LHi Group, he introduced the "Younger You" philosophy, now ingrained in our company culture, emphasising the importance of leaders connecting with their early career selves.</p>

<h2>Younger</h2>

<h2>You.</h2>

<p>Our future you concept is based around one of the big aspects of LHi, of getting people to step outside their comfort zone and chase their dreams.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The goal is to make those dreams a reality.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Far often our dreams never become a reality as there is quite often a financial barrier stopping us… Mortgage payments, children to look after or student debts. But with our EOT journey we are currently on, hopefully this will help every LHi’er break through that financial barrier.&nbsp;</p><p>So, as a group, we’re all working towards making LHi being the best business it can be, a people first business, where LHi may not be the final destination for everyone but a stop along the way that helped our ‘good humans’ achieve their dreams.</p>
