Company

Clinical Professionals was incorporated in 2006 in the thriving City of Reading with the intention of focusing on clinical research recruitment in the UK with the ambition of developing the business towards placing candidates throughout Europe.

The owners realised there was a gap in the market for a recruitment company that was staffed in part by people who had come from industry – enabling them to fully understand the intricacies of the pharma and clinical research market – a policy that has remained to this day.

Aiming to create a top three global pharmaceutical staffing business the growing team and its experience in the industry quickly brought results. Clinical Professionals deployed its first 10 contractors in the UK in 2007, with the first European contracts the following year. Further European success led to the setting up of Clinical Professionals’ international office in London.
