Tom Howe

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Tom began his marketing career in the early 90’s as a graphic designer, before finally coming to the realisation it’s pretty difficult to have a conversation with a computer – and he loves to talk! Tom made the move to account management and business development, an area where he really made his mark. After more than 13 years experience within the agency sector, holding various senior management roles for some of the UK's top 10 marcoms agencies, Tom finally took the next step and joined a well established recruitment consultancy, where he gained valuable experience and rapidly became the Head of the Marketing and Assignments division.

With his in depth industry knowledge and successes Tom soon came to the conclusion that with the right team around him he could create a recruitment consultancy that truly understood the marketing arena and offered an unparalleled level of personalised service.
