Phoenix acquires Munro

Munro Wholesale has been sold to Phoenix Healthcare. The sale follows the acquisition of Munro’s retail pharmacy division by the holding company of LloydsPharmacy (PJ, 29 March 2008, p353). The Munro Group will now trade as Strathclyde Pharmaceuticals and focus on parallel import and generic products.

Phoenix Healthcare says that Munro customers will see no interruption in service and that the same people will take calls, pick orders and deliver to pharmacies. The depots in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Belfast will continue to operate as normal.
