Oryx provides executive search in Birmingham and throughout the West Midlands, the densest manufacturing region in the UK. Vehicle assembly and design sit at Solihull, Castle Bromwich and Gaydon, supported by a tier-one and tier-two supply chain with no equivalent elsewhere in the country, and the Black Country retains the metal forming trades that fed it long before the current models existed: castings, forgings, pressings, fasteners, tooling and surface treatment. Our clients across the region reflect that base and include Hill & Smith, Amari Metals, Hadley Group, Brett Martin and Calder in manufacturing and metals, the Advanced Propulsion Centre in low carbon powertrain research, and Birmingham Airport. Aerospace systems and components are manufactured across Warwickshire, the high speed rail terminus has pulled a substantial engineering and delivery organisation into the city alongside a regeneration and build to rent programme reshaping the centre, and the region supports one of the most active mid-market private equity communities outside London.
