Merger will support recruiter’s ambitions in healthcare sector

Midlands-based healthcare staffing specialists Brindley Medical has merged with Merseyside-headquartered Kingdom Group of companies.

The merger will allow Kingdom Medical Services to expand at scale, helping to meet growing demand for qualified professionals in the healthcare sector.

Balraj Sohal will continue as managing director and all 22 staff are being retained, with the company continuing to operate from its current Birmingham-base.

The changes also mean that Brindley Recruitment which focuses on non-clinical staffing will now come under the Kingdom Group umbrella, forming part of the company’s Kingdom Recruitment business.

Balraj Sohal said: “Brindley was founded just four years ago and in that time we’ve gone from strength to strength, meeting the challenges of the pandemic and more.

“Becoming part of the Kingdom Group of companies will help us to scale up even faster – not least in terms of technology and back-office support which are both crucial if we are going to help to meet the huge demand in the health and social care marketplace.”

The merger follows Kingdom’s 2021 purchase of specialist homecare services firm Trackars, to form Kingdom Healthcare.

With more than 250 staff and its head office in Belfast, the firm also supplies healthcare staff to the NHS Framework.

Kingdom Group CEO and founder Terry Barton said: “We share the same commitment to high standards and safe delivery of healthcare, delivered by trained, experienced and specialist healthcare professionals.

“Working together, we see great opportunities to scale up and offer the best possible support to both healthcare and non clinical clients as well as staff looking for permanent and temporary roles.”
