Morson was founded in 1969 by Gerry Mason, the father of our current CEO Ged Mason in the family home in Eccles, just a short distance away from the site of our current headquarters. With a background as a mechanical design draughtsman, the Salford-born Gerry spent time in Canada managing a branch office for a contract design organisation out of Toronto. It was here he gained valuable experience in the business development and management, and after three years Gerry returned to the UK and founded J Morson & Co Ltd on 10 September 1969. The company began in modest premises - the office was just a desk under the stairs in the Mason home. The first placement the company made was a structural engineer to ICI in Runcorn, Cheshire. Before long, Morson was beginning to make a mark in the sector providing skilled engineers, designers and draughtsmen on temporary placements across many different industries. With the signing of bigger clients, in order to continue to grow as a business, the company had to move out of the family home and into a permanent office space and take on more employees. In August 1970, the company moved to Bank Chambers on Church Street, Eccles. Shortly afterwards, Gerry made a bid for larger premises on Clarendon Road, which would be our home for the larger part of two decades.
