LHi Group: Reflecting on 2024 and accelerating growth in 2025
LHi Group, a global group in specialist talent solutions across transformative industries including, technology (Lawrence Harvey), clean energy (Piper Maddox), life sciences (SciPro), built environment (Harper Harrison), and project solutions (XPS) proudly reflects on 2024, a year committed to ESG.
With the release of our first Impact Report since our founding in 2002, LHi celebrates record-breaking achievements in ESG commitments, financial performance, and business expansion.
Looking ahead to 2025, we remain committed in our mission to drive sustainable growth, deepen client partnerships, empower candidates in their careers, and further cement our status as an industry leader.
2024: A year of impact and outstanding performance
LHi Group’s commitment to long-term impact has never been stronger. Across all global offices, our teams not only met, but surpassed fundraising targets, reinforcing our culture of giving back and social responsibility. In 2024 alone, LHi raised an incredible £26,894, a testament to the passion, generosity, and dedication of our people. From charity events to company-wide initiatives, our teams globally came together to create meaningful change.
Alongside this, our Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives also remained a core pillar of LHi’s mission. LHi Group continued to strengthen LHi-IN, its dedicated DEI programme, which now comprises eight diversity communities, fostering an inclusive environment where employees can share ideas, access valuable resources, and feel a true sense of belonging.
A key milestone last year was the launch of the Women’s Sales Board, a leadership development initiative designed to elevate and empower female talent within LHi. With a bold commitment to achieving 50/50 gender representation in leadership within five years, this initiative highlights LHi’s determination to drive meaningful progress across the industry.
Alongside our social responsibility initiatives, sustainability remains at the heart of LHi’s operations, with ongoing efforts to advance green energy policies and reduce our carbon footprint. “This is a journey, and it won’t always be easy. But by embedding ESG into every decision we make, we’re confident that we’re not only building a more resilient company but also contributing to a healthier planet and a more equitable society,” said Jim Denning, CEO of LHi.
To further drive impact, LHi is conducting a comprehensive data review to identify key areas for improvement and implement meaningful changes. This step will shape a strong, actionable strategy, ensuring our efforts align with the global goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
On the business front, LHi leveraged AI-driven recruitment solutions to refine hiring strategies and deliver exceptional client service. In 2024, thousands of professionals secured new roles through LHi, benefiting from expert career guidance, market insights, and skills development.
