We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Hawthorne-Finch Talent Solutions has been recognised with not one, but two prestigious awards at the 2025 Northern Enterprise Awards hosted by SME News!

Following a rigorous merit-led research and evaluation process, H-FTS has been honoured as the deserving recipient of:

🏆 Best Professional Services Recruitment Agency 2025
🏆 Ethical Business Services Excellence Award 2025

What These Awards Mean to Us

Since launching in April 2024, we’ve been committed to doing recruitment differently. These awards validate what we’ve always believed: that transparency, integrity, and genuine care for both candidates and clients isn’t just the right approach—it’s the winning approach.

The Best Professional Services Recruitment Agency award recognises our specialist expertise in legal recruitment and accountancy recruitment across the UK, and our dedication to providing bespoke, personalised service that goes far beyond simply filling positions.

The Ethical Business Services Excellence Award is particularly meaningful to us. It reflects our unwavering commitment to ethical practices, including:

• Written candidate consent for every submission
• Full transparency throughout the recruitment process
• Supporting candidates with CV reviews, interview preparation, and career coaching
• Helping clients improve their interview processes and benefits packages
• Focusing on cultural fit and long-term success, not just quick placements

Recognition That Matters

The Northern Enterprise Awards celebrate enterprises that form the backbone of the local economy and demonstrate what it means to adapt, thrive, and lead with purpose. To be recognised alongside other outstanding businesses across the region is truly humbling.

These awards belong to our entire team—David, Lee, Jake, and Mara—and to every client who has trusted us with their recruitment needs and every candidate who has allowed us to support their career journey.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on what matters most: connecting talented professionals with organisations where they can truly thrive, and doing so with the integrity and care that has become our hallmark.

Thank you to SME News and the Northern Enterprise Awards judging panel for this recognition. Here’s to continuing to raise the bar in professional services recruitment!
