COURAGE | OUR STORY

Gerry Mason had the courage to dream big.

Gerry Mason, the father of current CEO Ged Mason, founded J Morson & Co Ltd in 1969 in an office under the stairs of his family home in Eccles, Salford.

A mechanical design draughtsman by trade, Salford-born Gerry placed his first contractor, a structural engineer, to ICI Runcorn, Cheshire. Over the next 4 decades, Gerry scaled the business providing skilled workers across diverse industries, increasing headcount, moving office premises, conquering new markets and developing new solutions until 1999 when son Ged took over the running of Morson.

“When I founded Morson I never set any targets, just the burning ambition to be the best in our sector, trusting that passion and ambition, coupled with integrity, would be the driving force for success”
– Gerry Mason, Morson founder

COLLABORATION | HOW WE DO IT

Through collaboration, greatness happens. We are people who love working with people.

Together, we share, we trust, we solve, and we innovate – developing and sharing our knowledge across our teams, businesses and brands.

It’s how we do our business that really matters; how we behave and interact with clients and colleagues, how we think, feel and what we value within our DNA. We have achieved scale but we truly value our culture; defined by 50 years of family values and a unique, personal approach.

At Morson, everyone’s voice has value and it is this diversity that gifts our business with a wealth of fresh thinking and pioneering ideas.

With this at heart; our candidates return, our clients become advocates, our projects are innovative, and our employees thrive in a successful culture that nurtures their ambitions.

CARE | WHY WE DO IT

Knowledge is power, but nobody cares how much you know… until they know how much you care.

Throughout Morson we have a sense of family that is demonstrated in how we think, behave and what we truly value. As a business of true scale, we keep it personal and consistently go the extra mile.

Supporting the education, safety, sustainability and development of our people and communities is central to who we are. With the immense demand for STEM skills in the UK, Morson Group is investing in education and aspiration, working hard to change lives and ensure a sustainable future for industry and the wider economy.

Our business is defined by not what we gain, but what we give back.
