Recruitment and health service provider CRG acquires Medacs’ forensic healthcare division

St Helens-based recruitment and health service provider, CRG (Castlerock Recruitment Group), has acquired the Forensic Healthcare division of leading healthcare staffing and services company, Medacs Healthcare Plc, in an undisclosed deal.

The company, which is set to achieve a group turnover of £30 million by March 2016, has bought the Salford Quays-based business to complement its specialist sub brand, CRG Medical Services.

All of the Forensic Healthcare staff, based across the country, have moved over to CRG to ensure continued service delivery.

CEO of CRG, Ian Munro, said: “The Forensic Healthcare division of Medacs is a recognised provider of services to the forensic and HM Prison medical services sector.

“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 acquisition has enabled CRG to open its first established headquarters in the Salford Quays area.

On 1 April, all 25 CRG Medical Services business support centre 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 news follows the announcement that CRG won a £5.8m contract with Merseyside Police earlier this year.
