Who are we?
During our history, the good-will of esteemed companies such as Savory & Moore, Allens Chemist, Cross & Herbert, R Gordon Drummond, Kingswood GK, and of course Lloyds Chemist and Hills Pharmacy have collectively given our business an enviable footing on which to go forward.
Our parent company, Celesio AG purchased AAH plc (the UK’s leading pharmaceutical wholesaler) in 1995, and then in 1997, acquired Lloyds Chemists PLC, which at the time had 902 pharmacies. Together with AAH’s 350 strong Hills Pharmacy network, this took the combined group to over 1,250 pharmacies. This has now grown to over 1,600 pharmacies within the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle Of Man.

What do we believe in?
Lloydspharmacy recognises the wider determinants of health and the impact that social and environmental factors have on people’s health. A community pharmacy should do more than simply dispense medicines. A strong emphasis should be placed on helping people maintain their own health and wellbeing.
At the hub of the local community, the pharmacy is ideally placed to help people make informed social and health decisions. This role also supports NHS priorities, not only in relation to minor ailments, but also as part of an integrated strategy to combat major diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and respiratory conditions, areas where Lloydspharmacy already provides innovative services.
Our vision
The Lloydspharmacy vision is to go from a good pharmacy business to a great healthcare brand and in doing so be acknowledged by our customers, employees, suppliers and the NHS as the UK’s leading pharmacy multiple in the provision of healthcare and related products and services to the community
Championing people’s health
When we say that we ‘champion people’s health’ we mean that we fight the battles that need to be fought in order to give the best care we can offer.
A good example of this is our approach to diabetes. Currently within the UK there are thought to be over one million people who could have diabetes and not even know it. To date our free screening service has tested over 1.1 million people and over 55,000 people have been referred to their doctor for further investigation.
