Morson Group, the UK’s leading provider of specialist talent solutions, has taken a significant step in its international growth strategy with the acquisition of US-based recruiter PTS Advance. The move strengthens the Group’s presence across North America’s high-growth sectors, including energy, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.
Headquartered in Salford, Greater Manchester, Morson has long been recognised for delivering technical talent to the world’s most complex industries. This latest acquisition underscores the business’s ambition to provide clients with seamless access to expert resource – wherever in the world they operate.
PTS Advance, one of the largest specialist providers of technical talent in the United States, brings a well-established footprint across the southern US, with offices in California, Texas and Florida. Its people-first culture and trusted reputation align closely with Morson’s own values and long-term commitment to building a global business powered by human connection.
Ged Mason, CEO of Morson Group, commented: “We’re incredibly proud to welcome PTS Advance to the Morson family. Having known the founding Stein family for over two decades, it’s clear that our businesses are built on the same foundations – integrity, ambition, and a shared belief in the power of people. This is a strategic step that strengthens our US delivery, complements our offering to multinational clients, and reinforces our position as a global leader in talent solutions.”
Founded in California in 1995 by Ronald and June Stein, PTS Advance was built on a culture of trust and delivery. The business, now led by CEO Dustin House, provides a full suite of recruitment services across contract hire, direct hire, project staffing and more. With a stronghold in oil, gas, renewables, infrastructure and manufacturing, the company supports critical projects across the United States.
Dustin House, CEO at PTS Advance, added: “Joining Morson Group marks a defining moment in our journey. We’ve spent years building something special – a business where performance and people go hand-in-hand – and this partnership takes our shared vision to the next level. Together, we’re creating a global platform with even greater reach, capability and opportunity for our people, clients and partners.”
The deal is part of Morson’s wider strategy to grow its global footprint, with the Group continuing to invest in both organic growth and strategic acquisitions to meet demand for specialist talent worldwide.
