\n Lumley Pharmacy in Great Lumley dispenses an average of 15,550 items per month and offers a range of healthcare services, including Pharmacy First, blood pressure monitoring, and emergency hormonal contraception.\n<\/p>\n
\n The sale – for an undisclosed price – was handled by Christie & Co and follows ownership since June 2022 by Kim Gamble.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Gamble said: “After many years of running busy community pharmacies, I felt the time was right to take a step back and have a little more balance in my life, while continuing to own and work within my other pharmacy.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Selling a business that you have put so much into is never an easy decision, but I\u2019m delighted that Lumley Pharmacy is passing into the hands of an experienced pharmacy operator.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The pharmacy has been acquired by Sri Kanaparthy, who owns 10 other pharmacies across County Durham and Gateshead<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n READ MORE: ‘Prosecuting me for moving a deer off the A66 is concerning – who does this benefit?’<\/a> \n Mr Kanaparthy said: “We are pleased to acquire Lumley Pharmacy, which is a great fit for our group.\n<\/p>\n \n “We look forward to transforming this pharmacy for what would be fit for the decades to come.”\n<\/p>\n \n Karl Clezy, Director \u2013 Pharmacy at Christie & Co, added: “I was confident that Lumley Pharmacy would attract a lot of interest from buyers across the north of England\u00a0due to its high dispensing numbers and its ideal location next to a busy GP surgery.\n<\/p>\n \n “Demand for northeast pharmacies remains high, and deals are being agreed after less than a month on the market.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lumley Pharmacy in Great Lumley dispenses an average of 15,550 items per month and offers a range of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-766470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
