Posted on 04/08/2010 in Pharmacy Supplier News Alliance Healthcare has opened a new service centre in Exeter which is designed to serve more than 1,000 pharmacists and hospitals across the south-west of England.
The state-of-the-art facility covers around 5,500 sq m and will distribute around 100,000 products on a daily basis, strengthening Alliance Healthcare's ties to local health providers.
This opening, which was attended by more than 100 delegates from the industry, came as the company marked the first anniversary of UK trading under the Alliance Healthcare brand.
Ornella Barra, chief executive of the pharmaceutical wholesale division at parent company Alliance Boots, said the new centre will allow the firm to increase its efficiency and meet healthcare needs.
