LHi Group : Recruitment To Meet Any Need Identity Since 2016, LHi Group has been on a huge journey of international expan- sion. Started originally by Tom Glanfield in 2002, LHi Group, was historically a purely SAP tech- nology recruitment practice.

Today, LHi Group consists of four specialist non-competing brands; Lawrence Harvey, SciPro, Harper Harrison and Piper Maddox, spanning 8 international office lo- cations. The rebrand and launch of LHi was driven by Glanfield’s desire to unify its brands and give them an equal share of support and service by LHi, which he calls the ‘Operational Centre of Excellence’. LHi Group’s strategy is to focus on business development and growth. Within the Group, they will only operate within the most innovative and transformative sectors; industries that are / will be the most impactful on the future of the world. With this strategy in mind, there are now four key recruitment brands that form the group.
