Executive search in Bristol and the South West for aerospace, defence, nuclear and energy businesses. Clients include GKN Aerospace and Moog.
Oryx provides executive search in Bristol and throughout the South West, a region anchored by one of the densest aerospace and defence clusters in Europe. Wing design and manufacture, propulsion, aerostructures, defence electronics and composites research all sit within a few miles of each other north of the city, and the government's defence procurement organisation sits alongside them, which means an unusual share of the region's senior population holds clearance and has spent a career inside programmes measured in decades. We work with GKN Aerospace and Moog in that cluster, with AB Dynamics in vehicle testing, and with Firefly Green Fuels and Kelpi among the region's early-stage materials and fuels businesses. Our wider South West work includes Hargreaves Lansdown, UWE Bristol, Swoop Adventures and Eastwood Park. Beyond aerospace, nuclear new build in Somerset has pulled major project leadership into the region at a scale the South West has not seen before, alongside semiconductor design, precision instrumentation across Gloucestershire and floating offshore wind development in the Celtic Sea.
