CPL boosts healthcare offering with acquisition of competitor

Irish employment services group CPL Resources has said it has bought nurse placement agency Medical Personnel for an undisclosed sum. CPL has recently seen a pick-up in business in the Pharmaceutical sector and this acquisition will ensure them a firm foothold in the market.

"This acquisition is an ideal fit with our overall strategy for growth and diversification. It dovetails with our existing business in the healthcare sector and complements our current suite of specialist recruitment companies," Anne Heraty, chief executive of Cpl Resources said.
