"The role I am currently occupying was advertised by LH Consumer Health & Beauty, unknown to me at the time, and “just another recruitment agency”.

However, it was not long before I realised that this company was seriously different. I found Kirsty Fenella Smith knowledgeable, and extremely professional, yet also friendly and very helpful.

I was treated with great respect and consideration and kept informed of progress every step of the way – not something I could say of the recruitment industry in general.

In my opinion, Kirsty is pretty unique in her attitude and commitment and cannot fail to impress both her clients and her candidates."

“Unlike most recruitment agencies, Langton Howarth has taken that extra step in providing a tailored response to my career goals and aspirations. With confidence in my ability and my best interests at heart I am delighted to say that they have met and exceeded all expectations. Thanks to Emma and all the team at Langton Howarth.”

I can safely say that the service I received from Langton Howarth and particularly from Jeremy was unlike any other agency or recruitment company I have used in the past. I received a really personal service, lots of helpful advice, prompt feedback and I landed the first job they put me forward for, after 4 months of searching.

Harrogate business woman, Emma Howarth, has won the inaugural International Business Form (IBF) 'Young Entrepreneur of the Year' Award. Emma who is a director of international recruitment consultancy, Langton Howarth Ltd, founded the company just three years ago.

Operating in a niche and very specialized market – recruiting key staff for the life sciences industry – she's skillfully and prudently grown her company. As well as her Harrogate office, Langton Howarth Ltd now has a presence in both Europe and the USA.
The IBF Awards recognize excellence and achievement in different spheres of business and commerce across the Yorkshire region. Emma collected her award from Alex McWhirter, Assistant Director-Business, Yorkshire Forward at the International Business Forum Awards Dinner which was held at Scarborough's Spa Complex. She was nominated for it by one of the company's clients.

Shaun Mullins, partner of the Leeds office of national accountants and leading business advisors Baker Tilly, was part of the Award’s judging panel. “We were impressed by Langton Howarth's speed of growth and Emma’s achievements in such a short space of time. Particularly praiseworthy is the company's international presence. The business has good clients and great credentials. Emma is a very determined young lady, keenly aware of her marketplace. She combines maturity beyond her years with youthful energy and enthusiasm.”

Commenting on her award, Emma added: “I'm absolutely delighted that the development of Langton Howarth has been recognized in this way. I share my success with my colleagues and clients. In particular I would like to thank Business Link who were very helpful when I was establishing the business. And I'd also like to mention a client of mine, Denise Van de Salis of Starlab who was – and still is – my inspiration.”

HARROGATE RECRUITER WINS INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AWARD

I spoke to several recruitment companies when I was looking for a new job. Danielle at Langton Howarth listened to what I wanted from a new position and rather than simply trying to fit me to the positions she already had, she went out and found the perfect job for me. She instinctively knew what would and wouldn't suit me and I am truly grateful for the support that she provided.

Just a quick note to say thanks for your time and efforts in finding me a sales position with your client. I must say I really do appreciate it and I do feel you’ve “gone the extra mile” to get me placed.
Thanks again & all the best for 2009

“Candidate Testimonial”

Candidate January 2009

We recently worked with Emma while recruiting for 2 positions in our Molecular Division. I found Emma and her team to be extremely professional offering first class service with a personal touch. The team at Langton Howarth understood our needs and presented us with high quality candidates who were extremely well prepared.
As a result we successfully filled both positions. I would highly recommend using Langton Howarth for your recruitment needs.

I can confirm that we have recently had cause to work with Emma Howarth and the team at Langton Howarth for a vacancy in our UK sales team which resulted in them ultimately placing the successful candidate for the position with us.

Over the whole recruitment process we found Emma and her team to be very professional, organised and quick to understand our needs in finding the right candidate for the position. As a result the candidates they put forward were of a high quality, well prepared and briefed and ideally suited to what we were looking for in the role.

The communication from Emma during the two rounds of interviews and through the whole process was first class and kept us informed at all times, a truly professional approach.

This was the first time we had worked with Emma and the team at Langton Howarth and will certainly do so again when the need arises in the future.

We have been impressed with their level of service enough to offer them this testimonial and our recommendation if you are considering using them for your recruitment

I've worked with many different agencies who claim to be the best in the business.

When I was contacted by Langton Howarth, I wondered what they would be able to offer me, and how they could help me find the best position.

Unlike other agencies, they offer a more personalised service, from start to end, to help you land that dream job.

I will definitely be recommending my friends to you!!
