ICON Plc’s resourcing division, DOCS, has expanded in Europe with the opening of new offices in Milan, Budapest, Brussels and Berlin, bringing the total number of European offices to 22.

DOCS provides resourcing solutions, including functional service provision (FSP), strategic sourcing and permanent placement. The European expansion follows the launch in Asia-Pacific in early 2011. The company plans to further expand in other key markets, including Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Russia, in 2012.

“DOCS has always been strong in Europe and we have a large client and candidate base in the region,” said Colin Stanley, president, DOCS. “Investing in local support and infrastructure will ensure that we support the current and future needs of both clients and candidates. We have aggressive growth plans for the future and will continue our market expansion in line with these plans.”
