Hi, we’re Renewed Horizons

Renewed Horizons is a community interest company that supports people who are economically inactive or excluded from the labour market to move into employment and long-term independence.

We combine the proactive, employer-focused approach of a recruitment consultancy with the values and accountability of a social enterprise. Alongside our employment support delivery, we are developing a social value–led recruitment approach, working with employers to align entry-level hiring with inclusive employment outcomes.

Our delivery model is holistic and trauma-informed, shaped by the understanding that long-term unemployment and repeated rejection can significantly impact confidence, wellbeing, and motivation. Rebuilding self-belief, agency, and trust is a core part of how we support people back into the labour market.

We work one-to-one with individuals to identify barriers, build practical employability, and take a direct, hands-on approach to securing interviews, work trials, volunteering placements, and paid roles. Where appropriate, this includes employer brokerage and recruitment activity that creates fair and realistic routes into work.

Our impact is practical and outcomes-focused. From first engagement through to sustained employment, Renewed Horizons delivers personalised support that helps people move from unemployment into meaningful and sustainable work.

Our Approach

Our mission

Our CIC is designed to benefit people from underserved and marginalised communities that face multiple and complex barriers to independence.

Social Values

Empowerment
We believe in empowering individuals by providing tools, resources, and support to help them take control of their employment journey. Our approach fosters self-confidence and independence.
Inclusivity
We celebrate diversity and actively create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Our services are designed to be accessible to people from all backgrounds, ensuring that no one is left behind.
Supportive
We prioritise creating a supportive network that understands the unique challenges faced by marginalised individuals. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate guidance throughout the employment process.
Advocacy
We champion the rights and needs of underserved communities, striving to influence policies and practices that create equitable access to employment opportunities.
Cultural Sensitivity
Our approach is rooted in cultural awareness and respect for the diverse backgrounds of the individuals we work with. We tailor our support to suit the unique needs and perspectives of each person.
Holistic Development
We believe in addressing the whole person, recognising that emotional, social, and economic factors are interconnected. Our programmes support personal growth and professional development.

Your social value problem. Solved.

Social value requirements are no longer optional across public sector contracts, FM frameworks and supply chain agreements. Procurement teams are under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable community impact — not just tick a box, but evidence it with data.

We make that straightforward. Renewed Horizons is a purpose-built social recruitment partner. Our model generates social value outcomes as a direct by-product of normal commercial recruitment activity — at no extra cost or administrative burden to you.

Ways to work with us

Whether you need a recruitment partner, a social value delivery mechanism, or both — we can structure an arrangement that works for you.

1

Direct Recruitment

Engage us as your recruitment partner for entry-level roles. Temp, temp-to-perm or permanent — structured around your requirements.

2

Supply Chain Partner

We integrate into your existing supply chain as a social value delivery partner, supporting your framework commitments without additional overhead.

3

Tier 2 Supplier

We work as a Tier 2 supplier to master vendors, enabling large staffing frameworks to meet their social value obligations through a credible, evidenced partner.

About Renewed Horizons

Built for communities mainstream recruitment leaves behind.

Renewed Horizons CIC is a Lancashire-based Community Interest Company founded to do two things well: supply reliable, work-ready candidates to employers in the FM, cleaning, security, labour and logistics sectors — and generate measurable social value outcomes that stand up to the most rigorous procurement scrutiny.

We're not a recruitment agency that's added a social value checkbox. Our social mission is legally embedded in our Articles of Association. Every outcome we report is independently verifiable.

FOUNDER BIO

Jordan Richards — Founder & Director

Jordan brings eight years of recruitment experience across public sector, housing, social care, FM and education — including six years operating within the Matrix SCM framework at Akton Recruitment.

Renewed Horizons was founded to apply that commercial expertise directly to communities that are consistently underserved by mainstream recruitment. The result is a model that works commercially and delivers real, evidenced community impact — at the same time.
