Morson Group Plc win Salford Business of the Year!

07 April 2011

The Morson Group are delighted to have won the prestigious ‘Salford Business of the Year’.

This award acknowledges excellence and outstanding achievement in all areas of the business and is a true accolade to the hard work and dedication of our staff both at our Salford based Head Office and nationwide.

The Morson Group was founded in Eccles by Gerry Mason over 40 years ago. It now operates as an international plc and our new Head Office building on Centenary Way in Salford is just a stone’s throw away from where the business was founded in 1969. The Group CEO, Ged Mason, manages the company with the same ‘family business’ ethic that has helped the business to become so successful.

Ged Mason, Group CEO, says:

“We could not be more thrilled at receiving this award. Salford is growing and thriving as an area and being part of this growth is exciting. Salford is a fantastic place to do business and the chosen location for our purpose built Head Office building, on the gateway of the road to Media City, is a demonstration of our belief in the area. I would like to thank all our staff who dedicate themselves to the pursuit of excellence and have helped us to win the Salford Business of the Year – well done!”

The judges for this award looked for strong growth, innovation, leadership and a clear vision. They were further impressed with Morson’s story of growth that centres on Salford and shows how the local area has been instrumental in the growth and success of the business.

Barbara Spicer, Chief Executive of Salford Council, says of the awards:

“Salford’s business community is doing some really exciting work all over the world and it is important that we recognise their achievements and contribution to the city. Now is an exciting time to be in Salford as we continue to grow and attract whole new sectors of business to the city. It is only with the support that these companies provide that the city can continue to grow and thrive.”

We couldn’t agree more. The Salford business community is one we are very proud to be a part of and we look forward to building new relationships and taking advantage of the numerous opportunities Salford has to offer.
