UK-based engineering recruitment firm Morson Group announced yesterday the acquisition of Anderselite Holdings, the parent company Anderselite Ltd, which provides recruitment services to the construction, civil engineering, facilities management and rail sectors.

Anderselite is headquartered in Southampton, UK and was founded in 1984. The company has six regional offices across the UK providing permanent, temporary and contract blue and white collar recruitment services to companies within the construction and rail sectors. Anderselite had previously been part of listed US staffing firm CDI Corp but completed a management buyout in 2016.

Under the agreement Anderselite will become a wholly owned subsidiary within the Morson Group maintaining its own brand and contracts whilst working alongside other Morson Group companies.

“We are delighted that the team at Anderselite are joining the Morson Group Family,” Ged Mason, CEO of Morson Group, said. “Anderselite has an extremely strong brand within the UK and specific expertise in the Civils, Maintenance, Rail and Construction markets. The addition of Anderselite to our portfolio means we are well placed to service the future growth expected in these sectors while consolidating our market leading position in rail.”

Simon Trippick, CEO of Anderselite added, “Right from the start of this process our objective was to find a partner whose values and approach matched our own. This is a very exciting time for everyone at Anderselite and our team is looking forward to joining the Morson Group. This deal will allow our business to grow and develop within one of the UK’s most respected recruitment groups to the benefit of all our stakeholders”.
