London, 18th May 2018
Multi award-winning life science recruitment company
Proclinical is set to continue its rapid growth following its acquisition by
leading healthcare staffing provider, Independent Clinical Services (ICS).
This morning, Proclinical joined forces with ICS in a
strategic move that will see its industry-leading life science expertise and
global networks strengthened by the ICS Group’s investment and support.
Together, the two staffing providers aim to expand the provision of
high-quality and highly-skilled life science professionals by enhancing their
capabilities and extending their global footprint.
Expressing his enthusiasm over the company’s latest move
Proclinical’s CEO, Daniel Smart comments: "We have successfully expanded our high-quality
services to life sciences customers across the world, with the most recent
additions being offices in Shanghai and San Francisco. We are excited about an
alignment with Hobson Prior and the future investment and support that ICS will
bring to enable us to continue to globalise.”
Richard MacMillan, CEO of ICS, also
looks forward to a prosperous future with Proclinical, particularly in respect
to the company’s global vision: “There is ever-growing demand for
professionals with highly sought-after skills across the life sciences sector.
With a network of seven offices across five countries, Proclinical complements the
ICS life sciences staffing brand, Hobson Prior. The combination of two strong organisations
will give ICS an excellent platform to invest and grow in the global life
science staffing market. Through Hobson Prior and Proclinical, ICS is now
operating in the US, China, Singapore, Australia, Switzerland, Continental
Europe and the UK.”
