Murray Resources Honored as a Cougar 100 Company

Recognizing the Fastest Growing Houston Cougar-Owned or Managed Companies in the World

Houston, Texas (Monday, November 6, 2014) – The University of Houston has recognized Murray Resources, a leading Houston recruiting firm, as a member of the 2014 Cougar 100, honoring the fastest-growing companies in the world, owned or operated by University of Houston alumni.

I started Murray Resources here in Houston over 26 years ago – and both the University and the city of Houston have been instrumental in our growth and success.
