“I have over 15 years of senior banking and strategic management planning experience, having started his career with West Bromwich Building Society in 1992 before moving to Staffordshire Building Society in 1998.
In the summer of 2007 I was invited to the join the family’s community pharmacy businesses with the objective to help stabilise and grow the family business.
Over the years I have helped the business grow from a family business comprising of 4 stores to what now has become a corporate business comprising of 100 community pharmacy stores . The core community pharmacy businesses now has a turnover c£45 million pa and we employ around 420 staff.
During my tenure as CEO I have also been directly involved in relocating the business head office from Darlaston to a prestigious brand new Headquarter building in the heart of Walsall’s emerging new office corridor
I take a keen interest in economics, business and civic affairs and am passionate about assisting local community and voluntary organisation with whatever support I may be able to offer. Quite often it’s my banking and business experience ranging over 14years which is often ‘tapped’ upon.
I sit on a number of local and national boards and committees for example Walsall Clinical Commissioning group, Innovation Health and Wellbeing Ltd, Walsall Economic Board and further afield I am a member of the Independent Chemists Association and I am a member of the National Primary Care Association.
At heart I am family man and enjoy spending time with my wife and three sons whenever time permits!
I am firmly ‘rooted’ in the town where we were born, schooled and had made a success of our business.”
