The Future
My career with Morrisons began in 2005 - just following our successful takeover of Safeway. Prior to this, our commitment to Pharmacy only extended to a few concessions, but things were about change in a big way following this purchase. Safeway were the first Supermarket to open a Pharmacy as far back as 1981 - and with the completed sale - Morrisons Pharmacy commitment immediately rose to 95. By the end of 2009 this has grown to 99 and by 2010 we plan to have over 110 - nearly one in every four Stores. Watch this space... In three years, we are looking to exceed 250!
So what does all this say about the business you're about to join? Like you, it has ambition, passion, professionalism, a real commitment to the patient and we have just what it takes to become one of the UK's leading Pharmacy chains. We're prepared to invest in the best, to adopt radical and ground breaking methods to deliver care and to be the first in our sector in everything we do. This makes working for us an exciting place, where the emphasis is squarely on respecting your professionalism and skill, canvassing your valuable opinion on what works and being part of a wider team and Store - giving you the freedom to dispense your skill - rather than manage a premises.
Of course, with over 10 million customers every week visiting our Stores, our Pharmacies are key parts of the community, enviable locations that really do add something to our success. In all, ours are dynamic places to work, with teams that are constantly trained and recognised - individuals who have everything they need to get on and deliver the best.
But don't just take my word for it - come and experience this commitment and energy for yourself. I really look forward to meeting with you in-person when you become one of our team.
