CEO and Founder

Altin Biba

After leaving college, Altin started his career in medical recruitment back in 2001 where he spent the next 7 years dedicated to understanding the healthcare system, the staffing industry and core challenges being faced by the NHS and healthcare professionals.

In 2007 Altin decided to establish ProMedical, with the core purpose of offering its customers effective workforce solutions.

Whilst our humble beginnings started in a garden shed, Altin has been supporting the evolution of our organisations to now being one of the main suppliers to the NHS and continue to grow year on year. Now in our 13th year of operation, supporting hundreds of NHS Trusts provide millions of hours of patient care through thousands of healthcare professionals annually across the UK.

Professionally, Altin is very inquisitive, an avid learner, a keen eye for detail, takes pride in putting people first and always committed delivering quality over quantity.

Personally, Altin loves his time with his family and dogs, he is also a true ambassador of physical and mental health and faces his obstacles face on. Boxing, Rugby, F1, Running and GYM are a few of the activities he enjoys.
