New Owner for Pharmacy
Tueday 1st April was an important day at Milton Pharmacy as the business was officially sold and handed over to Eric. This marks the end of an amazing era from Chris who started working here in 1999 and then moving on to owning the company in 2009. Chris has gone above and beyond for so many people over his time here and is truly a legend with a lot of his work behind the scenes going unrecognised. We have absolutely loved working alongside Chris and appreciate the amazing boss he has been to us. Although Chris has sold the business, we are still able to see his lovely face but only twice a week as he slowly settles into retirement, which is well and truly deserved! We are excited to welcome Eric into the ownership of the Pharmacy and wish him well along his way!
