About this business
A pharmaceutical wholesaler based in Leicester, buying from manufacturers and larger distributors and selling on to pharmacies, surgeries and clinics across the East Midlands. It owns its warehouse on an industrial estate, and the team of 11 runs purchasing, controlled storage, order picking and its own delivery rounds. Sales have fallen each year from £7.32m in 2021 to £6.25m, and EBITDA has followed from £1.21m to £914k. The business remains solidly profitable with net assets of £2.64m, but a buyer should plan how to win back volume, perhaps by adding product lines or new customer groups.
