Overview
Lloyds Pharmacy is the trading name of Lloyds Pharmacy Limited, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Celesio AG (previously called GEHE AG), the largest pharmaceutical wholesaler in Europe. Celesio AG purchased AAH plc (the UK’s leading pharmaceutical wholesaler) in 1995, and then in 1997, acquired Lloyds Chemists PLC, which at the time had 902 pharmacies. Together with AAH’s 350 strong Hills Pharmacy network, this took the combined group to over 1300 pharmacies. Lloyds Pharmacy was formed in March 1998 and has now grown to over 1600 pharmacies within the UK.
AAH (Amalgamated Anthracite Holdings) are now the pharmaceutical wholesale division of Celesio in the UK.
