"The level of trust we have with Howie, Kent & Co is huge. They thrive on challenging projects and working with their small team really gave us an advantage.

I love that I can just pick up the phone to James or Duncan - it's that simple. Culturally, our organisations are very similar. We both want to nurture professional and personal relationships, and it's easy to take that for granted."

Clare Horgan, Relode

“I had the pleasure of working with Becky Evans and Joe Langley at Howie Kent & Co on a number of renewable energy land searches that we had asked them to fulfil and was consistently impressed by their professionalism, market knowledge and results. Their understanding of the land and renewables sector is exceptional, allowing them to quickly identify opportunities, engage with landowners and represent projects in a highly professional manner.

What particularly stood out was the speed and effectiveness with which Becky and Joe contacted landowners and secured agreements. The number of landowners they successfully engaged and signed up within a relatively short timeframe was genuinely impressive. Throughout our work together they were proactive, responsive and trusted advisers who understood both the commercial and relationship aspects of renewable energy development. I would have no hesitation in recommending Howie Kent & Co to any organisation seeking experienced and professional land agents in the renewables sector.”
