Scotland-based life sciences recruitment agency Entrust Resource Solutions announced that it acquired Cheshire-based scientific resourcing consultancy SCI Search and Selection.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

SCI Search and Selection was founded in 1999. The company sources scientists across all levels of experience.  The group says its team of professionally qualified consultants are also experienced scientists from a range of disciplines and sectors.

This is the second acquisition for Entrust this year after it purchased executive search firm Horton International UK in January.

Entrust said in a statement, “Even with the uncertainty of Brexit, our group is thriving. We are in the midst of an aggressive five-year growth and acquisition strategy which will see our turnover reach £10 million. As part of this strategy, we have acquired two companies in just three months. We are forging partnerships with ambitious companies, just like ours, who need the right team to drive their businesses forward. In these uncertain times, the right team is more important than ever.”
