Alliance Boots changes management structure

Alliance Boots has this week announced changes to its subsidiary companies' senior management structures following its transfer to private ownership.

Boots The Chemists and Alliance Pharmacy have been brought under the same umbrella as Boots UK Retail, with Alex Gourlay, previously health care director for Boots The Chemists, appointed managing director of the new division. Steve Duncan, Alliance Pharmacy managing director, has been appointed executive chairman of Boots UK Retail.

Tricia Kennerly takes on the role of health care director of the division, but remains superintendent pharmacist for Alliance pharmacies. Steve Churton, formerly assistant pharmacy superintendent, is promoted to pharmacy superintendent of Boots The Chemists, taking over from Pradip Patel, who is now managing director of Boots Opticians.

David Coles, formerly managing director of UniChem, has been appointed to a newly created position of director of business development for Alliance Healthcare — Alliance Boots’s Europe-wide wholesale and commercial affairs division. Terry Scicluna, presently chief operating officer at Alliance Pharmacy, succeeds Mr Coles as UniChem managing director.
