Who are we?

We are a specialist recruitment and executive search firm, working globally in Media & Sports Technology, Satellite, Space & Defence & Cyber Security.

neuco was founded on two fundamental principles: provide a brilliant service and be a great place to work.

We’ve grown as a business, but those principles remain central to everything we do and every decision we take.

We believe a collaborative approach to working creates a healthier and more productive workplace, and in turn, that delivers better candidates and an outstanding service for
our clients.

How are we different?

What really sets us apart is the way we work together.

When you work with us, you’re not relying on one recruiter – you’re benefiting from the knowledge, networks, and perspectives of an entire team. By collaborating every day, we share ideas, challenge each other, and combine our strengths to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.

We’re equally passionate about the markets we serve. Years of dedicated focus have given us deep sector knowledge and a genuine understanding of the industries, businesses, and talent within them, allowing us to offer insight that goes beyond recruitment.

For us, collaboration isn’t just part of our culture – it’s what helps us build lasting partnerships and consistently deliver exceptional results.

Our Timeline

From a shoebox office in Chichester to a specialist team working across three fast-moving sectors, explore the milestones, people and moments that have shaped neuco.

neuco was born in a shoebox office in Chichester, with a few laptops, a couple of phones, and a lot of industry know-how between us. We built the business with hard work and determination, together as a team, right from the very start.

2016

Our team grew to 6 and we moved into our first Brighton office. We attended our first trade shows this year too, taking those early steps to build our presence within the industry.

2017

Our growth continued, alongside a real focus on building a diverse, gender-inclusive team. Behind the scenes, we also began laying the foundations of process and structure to support us as a company.

2018

A big milestone — we reached 10 people! This is also where the foundations of our team-based model took shape, with collaboration sitting at the heart of how we work together.

2019

We joined forces with our sister company, Ovyo. Then the world paused for Covid, and like so many others, we adapted to working from home — with the occasional socially-distanced walk to keep us connected.

2020

A year for reflection. While things slowed down, we used the time well — focusing on our team and welcoming talented graduates into the business.

2021

Things picked up pace. Our specialist sector groups began to take shape — Satellite, Space & Defence; Media & Sports Technology; and Cyber Security — allowing us to build deeper expertise within each. We also moved into a new permanent office, and our operations team was formed to support our growth.

We became an even more aligned team, travelling and visiting clients across all three sectors more than ever before.

2023

A period of consolidation and growth — a happy, connected team, and even more plants around the office.

2024

Teams working together more closely than ever, offering a consultative, value-led service across Satellite, Space & Defence, Media & Sports Technology, and Cyber Security at every step.

And beyond — We'll continue to build a workplace centred on enjoyment — a brilliant place to work, and one that delivers an excellent service to our clients, across all our specialist sectors, at its heart.
