After she said those words and shot me down in front of a room full of people, I did something that would change the course of my life forever. I got up, adjusted my tie, and said “I won’t do this anymore”. And walked out. That was the last meeting I ever had with them, back in 2012. I was working for one of the big corps and I had a very well-paid job. But towards the end of my time there, it felt like I was wearing a straight jacket to work instead of a suit jacket. I had so many ideas for growth, but they just didn’t get listened to. I understood, of course. It’s tough to get anything through the big corporate red tape. But I needed to grow.

But because you’re an Independent Pharmacy where no red tape exists and where you make the decisions about where your business goes, there are no boundaries like I had all those years ago. You’ve got room to innovate. And that tightening NHS grip can loosen if you put more time and energy into offering private clinical services. It’s incredible what pharmacies can offer today. And, with the help of the brilliant companies in this expo, you can become, I believe, the most powerful, diverse health hub in your city. There’s so much potential for growth down this route.Slide 4
