With over 20 years of experience, we pride ourselves on our deep industry knowledge, personalised approach, and commitment to excellence. Our team of expert consultants — each with an average of 10+ years of experience, work closely with clients and candidates to ensure the perfect match for every role.

Our Story:

Originally part of a large PLC, Morgan Ryder Group was established in 2002 by Barry McKeown and Peter Ross. The company was created through the delivery of Integrated Outsourced Recruitment support to Automotive OEM and First-Tier Manufacturers across all corners of the sectors supply chain, including final assembly, interior systems, exterior systems, engine, chassis and driveline components, electronics, off-highway and more.

After over two decades of evolution, our activity has spread to all corners of manufacturing, process and third-party logistics including Automotive, Aerospace, Rail, Print & Packaging, Defence, Precision Engineering, Chemical Process, Pharmaceutical/Biotech, Construction Products, Waste Process and Energy Recovery, Capital Equipment, Food, Beverage, FMCG and Sales.

Today in 2025 we now have divisions specialising in & Permanent and Contract Recruitment, Executive Search, HR Recruitment, Interim Leadership and Recruitment Process Outsourcing.

 

Barry & Peter’s vision was to create a true Consultancy, a business partner of choice, adding real value through unrivalled technical knowledge of customer markets and employer of choice in an industry that has always been plagued with some of the highest attrition levels across all job markets.
 

We have industry-leading employee stability of up to 24 years of service and can offer long-term relationship continuity to all members our network.

In 2025 we will be celebrating a 24-year long service milestone for Emma Brighouse, who is a renowned Supply Chain & Procurement specialist with a mature network of contacts spanning all levels. Terry Murphy (MD Morgan Ryder Executive Search), Christine Edwards (Head of Engineering) Raj Prasad (Head of International) and Lyndsey Clegg (Head of Sales) have all recently or are about to celebrate 20 years with Morgan Ryder.

Many of our clients have been with us from the very beginning which reinforces our unrivalled repeat business ratio of 99%.
