Executive search in Nottingham and the East Midlands for manufacturing, engineering, energy, logistics and consumer businesses. Founded 1988.
Oryx provides executive search in Nottingham and across the East Midlands, a region that still makes things at scale. Aero engine design and manufacture and civil nuclear work sit at Derby, along with rail rolling stock, and the surrounding counties add construction equipment, volume automotive assembly and a broad tier-one and tier-two supply chain in castings, machining and systems. Our clients in the region include Hunter Douglas, one of the largest window coverings manufacturers in the world, and REA JET, which designs and manufactures industrial coding and marking systems. Nottingham itself carries a different employer base again: consumer and healthcare retail head offices, data and financial services businesses and a growing set of technology companies. The former coalfield sites east of the city have become the focus of the region's energy transition, while East Midlands Airport handles more dedicated air freight than anywhere else in the country and the distribution triangle along the M1 and M42 concentrates national logistics operations within an hour's drive.
