Originally part of a large recruitment PLC, our group was established in 2002 by Peter Ross (right) and Barry McKeown (left). The business was formed through the delivery of Integrated Outsourced Recruitment support to Automotive OEM and First-Tier Manufacturers across all corners of the sectors supply chain, including; final assembly, interior systems, exterior systems, engine, chassis, and driveline components, electronics, off-highway, and more. After two decades of evolution, our activity has spread to all corners of manufacturing, process and third-party logistics. Plus, today we now have divisions specialising in Temporary & Permanent Recruitment, Executive Search, HR Recruitment, Interim Leadership, and Recruitment Process Outsourcing. Peter & Barry's vision was to create a true Consultancy, a business partner of choice, adding real value through unrivaled technical knowledge of customer markets, and employer of choice in an industry that has always been plagued with some of the highest attrition levels across all job markets. Today, we have industry-leading employee stability of up to 21 years of service and can offer long-term relationship continuity to all members our network. In 2021 we will be celebrating a 21-year long service milestone for Emma Brighouse, who is a renowned Supply Chain & Procurement specialist with a mature network of contacts spanning all levels. Like many members of our team, Emma has been able to follow her network across two decades of her career, building a strong rapport and understanding throughout. This stability is what keeps our network members supported long-term and an example of this is a long relationship with American Axle Manufacturing (AAM), a division that specialises in precision-engineered components for the automotive industry. Our relationship with the business is in its 13th year - Click here to read more. ​Leading in a consultancy based service sector that is powered by reputation, relationships and referrals means that the integrity of our brand is important to us. We are extremely protective and proud of its strength in our markets. Whilst the aesthetics of our brand have evolved over the last decade it has always carried the same message. We see our role as being a facilitator, helping organisations position themselves correctly so that they can capture the attention of the industry’s very best talent and helping candidates to find opportunities that have the potential to take their career to the next level. These elements are reflected in our company icon and branding where Morgan Ryder (orange) is positioned behind two other stakeholders, Candidates and Employers. ​ Our group is known for being knowledgeable about the markets in which we operate and the disciplines that we recruit, largely down to the length of service of our delivery team.
