The company’s success lies in its customer service. To employers it offers a fully managed service and database of thousands of locums, screening every candidate rigorously to check they have the requisite qualifications and skills. For healthcare professionals it offers strong working relationships with some of the top institutions and specialist departments across the UK, helping them to access “exclusive and exciting” career opportunities.Still 100% owned by the founders, GPS Locums hit impressive revenues of £12m last year, which it expects to increase to £15m in the next 12 months.
