About Us

Our Story & Values

Orion Group

Our Story

The company was established in 1987 by Alan and Linda Savage and has grown to become one of the UK’s largest independent recruitment companies.

Much of the company’s early success was founded on the supply of fabrication personnel to the rig construction yards in Scotland, which rapidly expanded to support North Sea Oil & Gas exploration.

From the outset, Orion Group was focused on developing strong relationships with clients and our service offering has continually evolved, to ensure we deliver the highest standards and meet their specific requirements across the globe.

Today, Orion Group operates from a worldwide network of offices and has successfully diversified into new sectors including Life Science and Renewables. Our commitment to progress by investing in People, Technology, Sustainability and Communities is steadfast.

The Heart of Our Organisation

Our Values

Our strapline, 'People are our business worldwide' underpins the ethos of Orion Group. A company's values and culture should lie at the heart of an organisation, and we are no different. We like to get the best out of, and do the best for, people. Not just internally with employees and stakeholders, but also with contractors, candidates, clients and suppliers.

Working together as a partnership is what we do best and delivering our values week in, week out, is testament to what drives the success of our company today.

To the right and below are the key values that drive us forward continuously, because at Orion Group, we believe that wherever you are in the world, people are at the heart of everything we do.
