Pharmacy wholesaler Bestway Medhub, which is part of Bestway Group, increased October sales by 49% compared with the same month last year.
The company declined to reveal actual sales figures.
Now in its third year, the business, headed by Paul Insley, has 15 in its sales force, including newly-appointed Brendan Moffatt, its first regional sales manager for Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Insley commented: “It’s been a fantastic year for us and we’re so proud to have welcomed our 1,000th independent pharmacist account, meaning that we’re now serving over 2,000 outlets across the UK.”
Bestway Medhub supplies over-the-counter pharmacy products and services to more than 2,000 independent pharmacies. It is linked with Wardles, a dispensing appliance contractor, providing products and services to the health care sector.
Bestway’s retail pharmacy chain (previously owned by the Co-op), operates separately to Bestway Medhub and has around 760 outlets trading as Well.
