Castlerock Recruitment Group (CRG), has acquired the Forensic Healthcare division of healthcare staffing and services company, Medacs Healthcare Plc, in an undisclosed deal.
The firm said the acquisition would complement its specialist sub brand, CRG Medical Services.
Ian Munro, CEO of CRG, commented: “We believe that a combination of the core strengths of the two complementary businesses will enable us to provide an enhanced service offering and user experience to current and future clients.”
The forensic healthcare division of Salford Quays-based Medacs supplies services to the forensic and HM Prison medical services sector.
Munro added: “We’re confident that the acquisition will benefit clients in a number of ways. The increased scale of the combined businesses will result in a greater depth of clinical expertise being available, including more specialist doctors, nurses and paramedics.
“In addition, it will provide us and our clients with access to a broader network, with an extra 15 branches and local offices throughout England and Wales.”
CRG has now opened its first headquarters in the Salford Quays area.
In April all 25 CRG medical services support staff moved into new 2,000 sq ft offices in Hamill at The Quays at Clippers Quay, making CRG the largest occupier in the building.
The group’s own projections show it will achieve a turnover of £30 million by March 2016.
