PHOENIX has announced the opening of a new depot in Aberdeen to support its growing customer base in Scotland.

The pharmaceutical wholesaler already operates 13 depots across the UK, collectively delivering over 250 million packs of medicines each year.


The company stated in a press release that it has experienced significant growth in its customer base in Scotland, and that the expansion is “a direct response to the increasing demand for our services and the need to support our growing network of healthcare professionals and patients.”

The new facility is part of the company’s ongoing investment in infrastructure aimed at maintaining the reliability and speed of its service delivery.

“At PHOENIX, our mission is to ensure that our customers and patients receive the highest standard of service.”

“By expanding our footprint, we can better meet the needs of healthcare providers, ensuring they have consistent access to the medications and supplies they need to deliver exceptional standards of care to their patients,” it said.
