Our story

Built on expertise.
Driven by impact.

Harry James Group was founded by Richard Horncastle during the COVID-19 pandemic with a clear vision – to build a specialist recruitment business that makes a real difference in the renewable-energy industry.

What started as a home office in Newcastle upon Tyne has grown into a trusted global partner, supporting leading organisations across Battery Energy Storage, Solar PV, Grid Integration and beyond.

We've built our success on market knowledge, honest advice and a commitment to delivering the right people – not just filling roles, but helping to shape careers and stronger teams.
