Day Lewis has bought a small group containing three pharmacies in the southwest of England which dispense a combined 34,000 items a month.

Topsham Pharmacy in Devon (pictured), Glasshouse Pharmacy in Exeter and West Hoe Pharmacy in Plymouth were all owned by Norsworthy Limited before Day Lewis acquired the group for an undisclosed price.

The owners of Norsworthy Limited decided to sell after opting for retirement and Day Lewis executive director Sam Patel said: “We are delighted to have acquired the pharmacies renowned for their quality and delivery of services in their respective areas.

“We look forward to further developing the pharmacies as part of the wider Day Lewis business, and we welcome all the Norsworthy staff into the Day Lewis family.”
