Since being formally recognised as one of the top small businesses in the UK, Clinical Professionals have continued to grow in size and stature. In 2012 a third office was opened, this time in
, to cater for the expanding business in Europe’s powerhouse economy.
This expansion coincided with the company taking on its 40th staff member, as well as the establishment of an internal training department that could respond directly to customer demand. In 2014 Clinical professionals took on its 60th member of staff and will continue to expand through out 2014/15 to meet the growing needs of our client base in the UK and EU.
Things have gone from strength to strength for the company and in 2013 Clinical Professionals won a further Functional Service Provider (FSP) contract with a global top 10 pharmaceutical company, demonstrating our ability to provide a flexible workforce while offering significant cost savings. This success is largely attributed to the senior level industry experience that Clinical Professionals staff are able to bring to these partnerships.
In the sixth company move in as many years due to our continued growth, Clinical Professionals’ head office relocated to a bespoke 80 desk office in central Reading (UK), while the London international office also moved to larger premises to facilitate our continued expansion.
Today, Clinical Professionals is Europe’s largest independent pharmaceutical research and development staffing organisation, with a turnover of €14m and partnerships with eight out of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies, as well as medical device organisations, emerging biotechs, Clinical Research Organisations (CROs), medical communications agencies, regulatory bodies and research charities.
Staff development remains one of the key elements of the business strategy, with high levels of staff retention one of the reasons that the company is able to offer such excellent continuity of service to clients.
Detailed market research carried out in early 2013 found that 95% of hiring managers rate Clinical Professionals as consistently superior in quality, speed of response, staff retention and communication. In addition to this, nine out of 10 customers rate the company as their most trusted partner.
Clinical Professionals continued their growth with another
Clinical Professionals, Europe's leading life science recruitment company, has won numerous awards and titles over the past few years:
Clinical Professionals was founded in April 2006 as a specialist provider of staff to the Clinical R&D market. Since inception the company has invested heavily in the training and development of its existing workforce and has sought to attract the highest calibre sales and support staff.
Our strategic focus has been to grow the business in a sustained way which has ensured the quality of our service has never been compromised. As a consequence the business has grown every year since inception and has always been profitable.
2015 was a milestone year for Clinical Professionals as it was acquired by Cpl Resources Plc, Ireland’s largest staffing business and one of Europe’s most successful recruitment companies. The acquisition has been extremely complementary for both companies and has given Clinical Professionals the access to financial and infrastructure resources that will allow the business to expand more quickly across the UK, Europe, North America and beyond.
We are extremely proud of our financial performance of Clinical Professionals and our group’s results.
