Significant events
- “The impact of the new NHS contract that runs until 31 March 2026 has left the directors optimistic that they will receive further funding when the negotiations for the 26/27 contract start later this year. The directors remain confident that they will be able to increase the profitability of the company through organic growth and acquisitions.”
- “Following the year end, the group refinanced in order to acquire 90% of the shares in a pharmacy group that was previously under common control. The loan refinance was for £12 million, with an additional overdraft facility of £1 million. The consideration for the share purchase was £3 million.”
- “The branches included within the subsidiaries of St Helens Pharmacy Limited have been hived up into St Helens Pharmacy Limited from 1 October 2024.”
