Our story


In 2015, Tom Glanfield (Founder of LHi Group) and Recruitment Manager Alex Cohen were all faced with a dilemma. Experienced in the world of Oil & Gas recruitment, they could all see the tide of change coming and, separately, without knowing yet of one another’s existence, they each had the same goal. They each wanted to create a new recruitment company which moved away from fossil fuels and focused purely on renewable energy, supporting companies in changing the world we live in by supplying them with their much needed talent.

​

However, there was a fundamental problem. Tom didn’t have the right people in place to lead such a business and Alex, already a successful leader, just didn’t have the right platform. Alex tried to expand the Renewable Energy offering for major O&G recruitment businesses but was disappointed by their lack of vision and commitment in this space. He soon realized that you can’t be committed to Renewable Energy whilst also serving the fossil fuel industry and therefore were looking for a business focused on the move in to the clean energy space. Through chance, Tom and Alex found each other and together they embarked on a journey to create a brand that they were passionate about, that they were proud to represent, a business that was making a positive impact on the world.

​

Now, a few years later we are five offices spread across USA and Europe with multiple leaders who are as passionate as the original members to leading the charge in clean energy. Dedicated to supporting companies that will be the biggest disruptors in the future state of our planet, Piper Maddox, through the sourcing and introduction of talent, are playing an influential role in the positive change in the way we power the world.
