Executive search in Liverpool for ports, logistics, pharmaceutical, chemicals and hospitality businesses on Merseyside. Clients include SPIE.
Oryx provides executive search in Liverpool and across Merseyside, a market built on ports, process industry and regulated manufacturing. The deep water container terminal and the freeport designation around it have made the city a national logistics and distribution point, and the Mersey corridor through Runcorn, Widnes and Ellesmere Port carries chemicals, refining and industrial gases together with the carbon capture and hydrogen programme now being constructed around them. Pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturing at Speke operates to a regulatory standard that narrows the leadership pool considerably. Our clients in the region include SPIE, the largest mechanical, electrical and building services business in the UK, and the Liverpool Experience Campus, one of Europe's leading entertainment and conference venues. Vehicle assembly continues at Halewood and Ellesmere Port, ship repair and offshore wind operations work out of the Mersey and the Irish Sea, and a waterfront regeneration and residential programme still has a long way to run.
As one of the UK’s leading construction companies, and a constituent of the FTSE 250, Balfour Beatty is committed to attracting the best possible talent from right across the construction sector. Oryx has successfully handled numerous projects across various parts of the Group, from a Project Director to deliver a pioneering waste-to-energy plant in a complex JV relationship, through to commercial and operational leadership roles for the Highways business.
SPIE is the largest M&E / building services company in the UK. The business handles a broad range of M&E projects for a diverse client base across the country. Significant growth led to the need to strengthen the leadership team, and we delivered a successful assignment to recruit a senior Operations leader for their biggest region. We are now in the process of handling another assignment for a key business development role.
The Liverpool Experience campus (LEX) is one of Europe’s leading entertainment complexes and is home to The M&S Bank Arena, BT Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre Liverpool. Originally conceived as part of a plan to help regenerate Liverpool city centre, boosting the local economy and helping to elevate the city’s profile, both nationally and internationally, ACC Liverpool has, since 2008, attracted more than 6 million visitors to more than 3,100 events and generated £1.3 billion in economic benefit for the local economy. Since 2011, Oryx has appointed a number of board Directors and Senior Managers, namely; Kerry Mulloy, Director of Events and Operations, Ben Williams, Commercial Director and Adrian Evans, Asst. Director Conference & Exhibition Sales. In mid-2020, Faye Dyer, the Corporate Services Director that we had placed was promoted to become MD.
