“We have used Howarth Morris for a number of pieces of recruitment during 2011 and have found them to provide a strong and professional service. In each instance, a good level of candidate pre screening was evident such that candidates presented were a suitable fit not just in terms of skill set, but also culture and personality”

N Stinson – European Metal Recycling (EMR) – UK Finance Director

“I have used Howarth Morris over a number of years and have a good relationship with the team there. Recently, I needed a purchase ledger clerk at short notice and contact Howarth Morris to help. They provided three excellent candidates for me to interview and each one would have been perfect for the role. By meeting the candidates first, knowing my business and knowing how I work – Helen tailored the candidates to fit my needs so I didn’t waste any time with unsuitable applicants. Each candidate had clearly been briefed on the company, the role and my expectations so I was able to just focus on the main important points in the interview. The successful candidate is now working for me and is doing an excellent job. I would be happy to use Howarth Morris again

D Moore, AD Group, Group Financial Controller

“I have recently been working with Angela Cunningham for the recruitment of a Qualified Financial Controller. When she came to visit me at the start of the recruitment process, Angela took the time to understand the company and remit of the role and so she only submitted CV’s which were relevant. The quality of the candidates I interviewed was excellent and it was clear Angela had marketed the opportunity and the company extremely well. The overall service was efficient and comprehensive and never over bearing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Howarth Morris”

K Leah, Finance Director, Thompson & Capper

“Howarth Morris understood our brief very well and sent a selection of high quality candidates for interview. The adopted a very consistent approach in terms of arranging interviews, follow up and feedback once interviews were complete. The one thing that stood out for me with Howarth Morris is that they didn’t give up, I had a particularly difficult role to fill and unlike previous experiences, Howarth Morris persisted until they found me the right candidate for the job. They phoned me when they said they would and only sent CV’s over to me when requested. All in all, a good experience and I will certainly use Howarth Morris again in the future.”

H Symonds, HR Manager, Sigmatex

“I recently worked with Howarth Morris to assist in finding us a HR / Payroll Advisor. I met with two Consultants, Helen and Daisy, who took details of the candidate brief and the exact process I wanted to follow and Helen was appointed my main contact during this assignment. I was on a very tight timescale to recruit for this role as I had only two weeks to find a replacement. Within 48 hours Howarth Morris found me a shortlist of 3 candidates and I interviewed all 3. I was sent a number of CV’s from other agencies and following interviews I shortlisted 2 of the Howarth Morris candidates for 2^nd interview and subsequently made an offer. Helen kept in contact with me throughout the process ensuring I was aware of everything that was happening and ensuring candidates were fully communicated with. Helen is extremely personable, friendly and professional and I will most certainly continue to use Howarth Morris based upon this experience.”

Paula Johnson, Human Resources, Flextronics Global Services Manchester

“I have recently worked with Howarth Morris on two occasions when our Company required Finance staff at short notice. I have found Helen Berry to be very professional and she has understood exactly the type and calibre of candidate we needed. Helen met with us to find out about our business and exactly what requirements we had and has on both occasions exceeded our expectations both in her commitment to our Company and also the quality of her candidates whom she clearly knows very well. The continuing care of their service during our temporary assignments was refreshingly good and Helen was always keen to know that everything was going well and was not afraid to find out if things were not which I hasten to add could not be further from the truth. I would have no hesitation in using Howarth Morris again for any recruitment needs we may have in the future.”

V Howarth, Financial Controller, Capital Safety Group

“I recently worked with Howarth Morris while recruiting a new member for my team. Angela provided me with a number of excellent candidates and kept in regular contact with me both pre and post interview. I found Angela to be very approachable and professional, always willing to discuss my particular requirements for the role whilst from a candidates point of view ensuring she had feedback for them. I also worked with Angela when looking for a new role myself around 14 months ago. I would not hesitate to speak to her in the future for other recruitment requirements.”

J Rawlinson, Head of Finance, UTV Radio

“During our search for an ACMA Financial Analyst, Angela spent the time to really understand our organisation and the remit and demands of the role. She has an excellent knowledge of the candidates she represents – which was extremely useful to us in identifying the appropriate people to interview”

R Laughton, Head of Commercial Finance, Thermo Fisher

“We do not normally use recruitment agencies as we have historically found them quite pushy, supplying irrelevant candidates and charging extortionate fees. After receiving some literature from Howarth Morris we liked their profile and we gave them the opportunity to assist us with our requirement. Within one day of being briefed Helen had been in to meet us and after taking a thorough brief provided us with her recommendation of 6 candidates for us to consider. We were surprised at the high quality of the candidates we interviewed and if we do have one complaint it was that on meeting the candidates we had a very difficult decision in choosing our preferred candidate as the quality was so high! We would have no hesitation in using or recommending Howarth Morris.”

D Orr, Finance Director, Stack Data Solution

“I wanted to drop you a line to convey my thanks and appreciation for helping us with our recent recruitment. This was the first time we had ever the need for a qualified person to join our financial team, we didn’t know where to start or what to expect. We considered advertising but it seemed expensive and everything was reliant on the advert response and on the interview. I rang Howarth Morris and their consultant Martin met with me to get a detailed overview of my company, our plans and the requirement and with a good understanding of our needs Martin gave good advice and promptly short listed half a dozen candidates for us to interview. The calibre of candidates we met was of the highest and we were extremely happy with the candidate we secured. We thought the fee was very reasonable and far more cost effective than advertising as you get to consider just the highest calibre, relevant candidates and placements are guaranteed. Thank you for all your help.”

M Fleet, Director, Twinfix

“I recently used Howarth Morris to recruit for a Part Qualified Project Controller. Having recruited for Vestas for a number of years they fully understood the profile and demands of our business and after meeting up to take a thorough job specification Martin and Sean were quickly able to advise on a range of candidates they were representing and within days they submitted a shortlist of relevant applicants. All of the candidates submitted for interview were suitably qualified and had the relevant experience so there was no time wasted reviewing unsuitable CVs. Having met the candidates personally Martin was also able to give his own opinion on their suitability and this helped the selection process. As all the candidates we interviewed were capable and suitable for the role we were in a position to fill our requirement promptly. Aside from the high standard of service Howarth Morris has a favourable fee structure and I would highly recommend Howarth Morris as I have found every element of the service they provide to be excellent”

B Evans, Project Account Manager, Vestas Celtic Wind Farms

“Howarth Morris take every opportunity to truly understand the businesses they work with and take the time to get to know their client contacts that they work with. They only submit the most relevant candidates ensuring the make a good match to both client and candidate requirements. With a friendly and professional approach, they promote only the best suited candidates for interview and on meeting them you can see they have been fully briefed and prepared. I will definitely be using Howarth Morris again.”

G Redman, Management Accountant, Assura

“I would like to display my gratitude for the all the help you provided when we recently needed to replace our Accountant. Initially I ran my own advertising campaign as I was concerned about the cost implications of using a recruitment consultancy, and also the ability of an outsider to our company being able to recognise and place the right person for our specific needs. This concern was quickly dispelled after meeting with Sean, he took the time to get to know myself and understand my business and the way in which we worked. After our initial meeting Sean presented CVs for potential candidates and they where exactly what I was looking for. Within one week of approaching Howarth Morris we had met the candidates and appointed our new accounts person. Dealing with Howarth Morris was an absolute pleasure and managed to completely remove the stress involved with recruiting. They will be my first point of call when looking to appoint future accountancy staff.”

N Gallant, Managing Director, Neutronic Technologies

“Having used many recruitment agencies in the past I approached Howarth Morris to recruit a part-qualified accountant for our business. My remit was vague and yet Sean met with me and at the end of the meeting we ended up having a good idea of the type of candidate we required and the right level. Within a few hours on the following day we received good quality CV’s, and when we met the candidates selected they were well prepared for the interview and at the right level for what we was looking for. We filled our vacancy within a week, and the whole process from start to finish was painless and there was no huge mountain of unsuitable CV’ to trawl through! Howarth Morris take the time to understand your needs and your business, their fee structure is sensible and is not extortionate and they provide good after care service. We will be using them again in the future. Highly recommended.”

C Masters, Chief Accountant, Sphere Consumer Products Plc

“Howarth Morris have been the best agency I have dealt with in well over 15 years. They are our preferred agency for all Financial Recruitment and have successfully assisted us with requirements including Management Accountant, Project Implementation Finance Lead, Credit Manager, Project Accountant & Tax Manager. I have been extremely impressed by their level of professionalism. The quality of the candidates was excellent and any one of them would have been suitable for the vacancy.”

D Simpson, Financial Controller, ServiceSource Europe

“After years of using various internet advertisements and financial recruitment agencies it was a relief to find an agency which offered such a personal and professional service…”

J Fielding, UK Finance Manager, Chemviron Carbon

“This has been a very pleasant change to my normal experience of recruitment agencies and I would certainly recommend their services and will use them again in the future.”

I Bassett, UK Finance Manager, CMA CGM

“CV’s were clear and concise, and when I actually met the candidates they came across well at interview, highlighting the time that Howarth Morris had spent briefing them.”

M Hoare, Contract Accountant, Kuehne & Nagel

“I approached Howarth Morris to find a special candidate to help fill a senior position in our Finance team. In an extremely tight timeframe, Howarth Morris used their immense experience and connections to present us with a candidate who fit culturally into our business and who had all the required skills. What I also like about Howarth Morris is their pro active approach and their confidence to tell you how it is, which not only minimises wasting time, but also adds value to the recruitment process.”

S Sanders, Finance Director, Academee

“Not only did Howarth Morris have a good understanding of our various requirements, but they also learned about our Company and culture to ensure they presented us with a small number of candidates that closely matched our requirements. We particularly like that the recruitment consultants know their candidates well, having met all of them face to face.”

G Hale, Senior Generalist – Human Resources, Applied Biosystems

“I have worked with Paul Howarth on a number of assignments and I will continue to use Paul and Howarth Morris for any future recruitment I undertake. Paul takes the time to find out specifically what the business requirement is and doesn’t waste your time by forwarding details of irrelevant candidates. He is discreet, honest and big enough to tell you if he cant fulfil a particular assignment, a rare gem in the recruitment industry”

M Gordon, Financial Controller, HDNL

“Having used a number of agencies over the years it is a refreshing change to find a recruitment business that takes their time to fully understand the business requirements from a both technical and aptitude perspective. Knowing their candidates well they are able to quickly present a shortlist of pre-screened candidates that they feel are most appropriate for the requirement. I would recommend Howarth Morris to any business looking for a professional, friendly and efficient approach to the recruitment process.”

K Appleton, Financial Controller, McGoff & Vickers
