Clinical Professionals, RIG Healthcare and Cpl Specialist Talent join forces to form to Cpl UK.

We are excited to announce that UK based subsidiaries of global talent provider, Cpl Resources PLC have combined to create a transformational talent services offering to the UK.

All three business have rebranded under the Cpl UK banner to seamlessly provide a host of talent solutions to customers across the UK which will include an array of flexible, contingent, and permanent talent solutions.

As a group we will continue to service life sciences, healthcare and technology sectors and expand beyond that into other niche STEM markets as well as candidate short areas within professional services.

Affi Khan will remain in place as CEO of Cpl UK for the Technology and Healthcare Sectors and Yvette Cleland will also stay as CEO of Cpl Life Sciences whilst also expanding our offering into professional services.

Having a UK focused infrastructure will allow us to enhance our partnerships with our customers in navigating a complex and uncertain landscape considering the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit and upcoming IR35 regulatory changes in the private sector. This will include UK based Finance, HR and Legal teams led by Glen Hall as he steps into the role of CFO for CPL UK and Compliance, Commercial and Payroll teams led by Jamie Bushell, as COO of CPL UK.

As a combined business we now sit in the top 1% of UK recruiters by turnover with a vision to double in size by 2025 and lead the way as UK's best transformational talent partner.
