Turnover grew to a record £1.2 billion at the Morson Group in 2022, as the company responded to a rising demand for talent in defence and renewable energy; invested in the professional growth of its teams; and strengthened its position as a global talent solutions specialist with the acquisition of Australia’s ACRWORLD.
The Morson Group comprises a strategically diverse network of businesses; Morson Talent, Vital Human Resources, The Bridge, Anderselite, Cornwallis Elt, and ACRWORLD specialise in different areas of recruitment, while Morson Projects and Waldeck provide quality driven engineering consultancy services to a wide range of technical markets.
In addition to its strong financial performance, the Group also buttressed its commitment to developing diverse talent pipelines fit for the future and creating opportunities for young people underrepresented in STEM. The University of Salford’s Maker Space, part-funded by Morson, opened to students for the first time in 2022, while the Group’s ongoing investment in IntoUniversity, including scholarships and a new learning centre, continues to help young people from deprived backgrounds develop their skills and realise their ambitions.
On the company’s record-breaking turnover, CEO Ged Mason said: “Surpassing the £1 billion turnover marker was a huge aspiration for me, as it was for my late father, the company’s founder, Gerry Mason. I’m proud that we’ve been able to achieve it, especially given the economic and political challenges of last year.
“This milestone reflects the dedicated contributions of our team,” he continued. “They are at the forefront of some of the most significant and cutting-edge projects in this country and beyond, leading the charge for widening participation and bringing talent from every corner of the workforce to deliver success for our clients, candidates and contractors. Collectively, we’re achieving our goal of placing people first – and I couldn’t be prouder. But delivering on that goal is about much more than hitting a magic number in terms of turnover; we are continuing to look for ways in which we can support businesses, enhance skills and enable future generations of talent to reach their full potential – those are the real measures of success.”
