Harlow Consulting has been chosen as one of Yorkshire’s ’50 Most Exciting Companies for 2025.
The leading research consultancy is the only Harrogate-based business picked for Yorkshire Business Insider magazine’s annual showcase of the top 50 companies.
Insider magazine said Harlow Consulting is, “growing well and is particularly strong in property development and construction.”
To make the list, businesses must be less than seven years in existence. It covers sectors as varied as rural pubs and seaside cafes to human tissue regeneration and synthetic genetics.
Founded in 2019, Harlow Consulting is a fast-growing business that has seen remarkable growth, while maintaining a strong focus on team wellbeing and giving back to environmental and community causes.
It was founded by two friends, co-directors – Jennifer Brennan and Clare Vokes. Clare and Jennifer didn’t seek investment or support, but bought a laptop each and built the business from the ground up.
Since, the two female business leaders have been “making waves in the world of research” (Yorkshire Post) and has grown into a 10-strong staff team.
The founders were motivated to create a business that they would want to work in themselves; one that invested in its people, and the planet, while delivering innovative, value-driven work.
Director Jennifer Brennan said: “It was a fantastic way to kick start 2025 to be recognised for Yorkshire Insider Media’s most exciting companies list. We’re a values-driven business that proves you can be profitable, whilst putting the welfare of your staff first, and supporting environmental causes. We strongly believe that having these strong, positive values fuels our success.”
Yorkshire Insider said: “The Most Exciting Companies list celebrates companies aged under seven years of age in a wide variety of sectors and at different stages of their growth. Some have had significant investment; others have only recently been founded or are even pre-revenue. But Insider believes they are differentiated, perhaps through science, intellectual property, branding and media reach, social impact, or sheer commercial success.”
The Most Exciting Companies initiative, sponsored by law firm Alt Legal and property asset business Pullans, culminates in a reception for the companies in March.
Harlow Consulting was highly commended in the Harrogate Business Awards 2023 for the Employee Health and Wellbeing Award.
It has five areas of corporate social responsibility: food poverty, animal welfare, community, hospice support and environmental causes, and recently became an official volunteer affiliate to English Heritage.
The consultancy works across a range of sectors, specialising in construction, heritage, arts and healthcare. Clients include Historic Houses, DCMS, Historic England, the NHS, and the British Film Institute (BFI).
