Cambrian invests in 6 new Business Managers

Cambrian Alliance have added six new local Business Managers as they look to help customers maximise their profitability in uncertain times for pharmacy.

With demand to deliver services on the back of Pharmacy First, and purchasing margins increasingly squeezed – pharmacists need help to manage the complexities of medicine ordering.

With changes to clawback, record concession numbers and the wait for a new contract – there are more things than ever to make pharmacies and dispensaries worry about their ordering.

Nathan Wiltshire, Cambrian Alliance CEO said -

‍“Demand for a buying group that works as a partner as well as a platform is growing. Contractors want help in simplifying ordering.
Our members realise the value our business managers offer in giving an objective view of their purchasing across suppliers – and we want to provide this to all members, old and new”

The six Business Managers, who will work with customers and new members across their regions, have an array of pharmacy and dispensing doctor experience – having worked with wholesalers, manufacturers, dispensing doctors, as prescribers and more.

Cambrian members will have regular contact with the business manager, can liaise with them to get an overview on how they are distributing their spend, get hands-on training on using e-CASS Web and help their team understand best practices for getting the most out of their purchasing.

Joe McKenna, Cambrian’s Director of Sales & Marketing said;

 "We are delighted our members will have access to the amazing knowledge our new team have. It will also allow us to demonstrate the benefits of e-CASS to more pharmacies and dispensaries and support growth as our membership numbers continue to increase."

The new staff who have joined Cambrian are;

Anna Simpson, Dispensing Doctor Business Manager, North
Richard Haw, Business Manager, Midlands & East England
Marc Payne, Business Manager, London
Joanne Holdcroft, Business Manager, Central England & North Wales
Paul Sweeney, Business Manager, Scotland
Greg Pattinson, Business Manager, Northern Ireland
