The Morson Group was established in 1969 and currently comprises of two companies Morson International and Morson Projects, based in Eccles and Irlam respectively.
Morson are best described as a specialist producer service, providing engineering consultancy in areas such as aerospace, power generation (including nuclear), telecommunications, transport and utilities.
Their Post-Fordist credentials are perhaps best summed by the Group's key aim which is to "focus .. on the future and the genuine competitive advantages delivered to our clients through innovation-enabled, flexible solutions". However, this is a big company with 8,900 "white-collar engineers", although they only direct employ some 500 staff. That said Morson are a family business, controlled by Gerry Mason.
The Group plans to construct a new headquarters in Eccles and relocate both its company operations on to one site by 2010, which will mean jobs been shifted from Irlam to the new £10m 55,000 sq ft building. The company currently occupies the stylishly renovated Darwen House - one of few remnants left after the demolition of the Co-Ops Margarine Works.
