What new joiners can expect | Langham Hall

Book open Reading time: 3 mins

Langham Hall focuses on the administration of structures in the illiquid asset classes of private equity, real estate, infrastructure and debt. The market for these products has increased exponentially and this has resulted in significant growth for the firm since its launch. It is this on-going growth which gives everyone at Langham Hall the opportunity to develop their careers.

One of the secrets to our success is that the people running Langham Hall all lead client work. This is important as it means that, even from an early stage of your career, you are visible to senior management, all of whom are keen to find the best people and to help develop your career in a timely and supportive way.

We use the word apprenticeship to describe how new people learn at Langham Hall. Apprenticeship captures the interactive and structured learning experience between the new joiner and their line manager. Of course, there are plenty of modules teaching the basics of professional services - everything from accounting and administration to how to use systems and tools. However, we believe the way you learn best is through structured, hands-on experience and feedback.

This means we initiate situations where you can experience direct client interaction early on in your employment, and you can also expect to be exposed to a high level of technical challenges.

You will also be given the opportunity to manage people early on in your career. It is the responsibility of your managers to train you as quickly as possible and support you in developing new skills and knowledge.

We strongly believe that the learning culture at Langham Hall revolves as much around support and teamwork as it does training. You will be mentored through line management but also have a pastoral mentor, an identified staff member outside direct operational management, who will be responsible for your personal development, well-being and the pastoral side of your time at Langham Hall.

Success is built on strong teamwork and shared values. We organise regular breakfasts, team lunches and after-work drinks, as well as popular firmwide events. Staff enjoy their interactions with colleagues and frequently develop lasting friendships in their time here.

Our History

It seems like yesterday that we won our first engagement in May 2006. At the time Langham Hall was little more than a name and we quickly had to assemble a team to deliver the work while simultaneously developing the firm’s infrastructure. Fast forward several years and there are now over 800 of us around the world. The company has been built from the ground up but retains the entrepreneurial spirit and drive that it had at its launch, and we believe this is the reason we continue to be one of the fastest growing companies in our sector.

We are proud of our culture of teamwork and client service. Being able to prioritise staff and clients as stakeholders has always felt like the most important goal and this is what Langham Hall has strived to achieve over the years. Timely and sound decision making is critical to preserving the quality of our client work and we remain as committed to client service and to our own internal working environment as we were when we started.
