Gavin Howarth - Howarths The NXTGEN Show

Welcome to the NXTGEN SHOW, my name is Benjamin Brain – performance and leadership coach to next generation leaders in family businesses - and it’s my mission to share with you the stories, experiences and lessons learned of other accomplished next generation leaders from across the UK.
On today’s show, I was joined by Gavin Howarth of Howarths.
Howarths, a successful HR and Employment law firm in West Yorkshire, was launched by Gavin’s parents back in 2003, after his father retired from a successful 30-year career in the police force. 
After studying Law at University and completing two years practicing as a trainee Solicitor at one of the UKs largest law firms, Gavin joined the family business and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Managing Director of the firm 9 years ago, at the age of 27.
Since then, the business has grown year on year to become an outstanding example of a successful, values led family business that has built an excellent reputation for itself not just in the industry and with clients but also in the local community thanks to the Howarth Foundation, a charity set up by the family in 2017 to help the homeless get back into employment.
This was a brilliant no-holds-barred interview into leadership in a family business with an ambitious, passionate and people focused M.D. who’s not afraid to lead from the front and is quickly becoming a voice of wisdom and inspiration to other aspiring leaders in business. 
So without further adieu, this is Gavin Howarth...
