Boots first to join Pharmashelve "1,000 Club"

Boots has become the first client to join the “Pharmashelve 1,000 club” by specifying Pharmashelve in more than 1,000 outlets. Pharmashelve, the leading designer and manufacturer of specialist dispensary storage and shelving equipment for pharmacists and health care professionals first started installing the equipment into Boots stores over 4 years ago.

The latest order of equipment is for a further 100 pharmacies which will take the total number of Boots Pharmacies utilising the Pharmashelve range of equipment to 1,018. The latest order went into production in February and has been delivered to the newly refurbished Boots dispensaries over the months since February.

Boots was one of the early adopters of Pharmashelve and the continued re-ordering and refurbishing of existing pharmacies is a testament to the value and durability of the range of products and the extra value it has added to the client’s business.

Pharmashelve products are ideally suited for national chains such as Boots due to its modular construction allowing for a perfect commercial balance of design flexibility and common units and components. Stores can be installed with any number of items form a standard single bay unit to a complex arrangement of multiple bays, preparation tables, monitors, lockable cabinets, work tops, under shelf storage and back to back island units.

This common, yet flexible solution ensures that no matter what size or shape a dispensary is in a Boots store, or indeed any outlet, Pharmashelve can be designed to maximise the effective use of any floor or wall space providing a real increase on return for valuable retail footage.

Richard Kay, Director at Pharmashelve said “when we first launched the Pharmashelve concept we assumed the major customer base, and sales, would come from independent pharmacists looking for a high quality but relatively low cost solution to freeing up more space in the chemist shop in order to offer consultation rooms or to free up more space for retail sales and whilst this market is very important to us and also growing, it’s the large retailers like Boots, that have also embraced the concept” Richard continues “working with companies like Boots has enabled us to expand the product base further and offer solutions that can be embraced by other customer groups such as hospitals, care homes and even veterinary practices”.

Originally only available in the UK, Pharmashelve is now marketed worldwide with sales and distribution channels available across Europe, India, America and the Far East.

Pharmashelve is the latest pharmacy shelving and storage solution developed specifically for pharmacists and health care professionals who are faced with the problem of limited storage and display space within a retail pharmacy or hospital dispensary.

Since its original launch in 2005, Pharmashelve has invested significant resources into research and development in order to bring an ever expanding range of Pharmashelve products and services to the market. Pharmashelve ultimately frees up space within a pharmacy and has many unique storage and display features that can only be found in the Pharmashelve product.
