Pharmacist Graham Phillips of Manor Pharmacy, in Radlett, is the lucky winner of the prestigious Pharmacy Business Merchandising Award 2003. 

Patricia Hewitt, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, presented the award at a glittering ceremony at the London Hilton Hotel, on October 7. 

The Pharmacy Business Awards 2003, organised by Pharmacy Business magazine, was compered by TV presenter Nikki Bedi.  More than 700 guests, including leading manufacturers, health officials and politicians attended.

Graham runs four thriving pharmacies in Hertfordshire. His Radlett store has just been fully refurbished and the judges noted that all his pharmacies have a bright and vibrant atmosphere.  The judges felt that merchandising for this busy pharmacist is an art.  Each member of staff is responsible for ensuring products are immaculately displayed in bright clean fixtures. The pharmacy also designs its own promotional materials. 

Graham said: "I was stunned and delighted to be chosen by my peers as the winner of such a prestigious award. It is the result of more than a year of hard work and team effort designing and developing our newest branch in Radlett.  We will be arranging a staff celebration . . . I have been grinning like a Cheshire cat since the result was announced."

Chief Guest Patricia Hewitt said: 'Community pharmacists are very different from ordinary retailers. They are health professionals and stalwarts of the NHS. The skills that they have in abundance are exactly the skills we are trying to promote across the whole economy - entrepreneurial, innovative and creative.'

Pharmacy Business magazine's managing editor, Kalpesh Solanki, said: 'The government needs to build confidence with the consumer that the local pharmacist is an integral part of the National Health Service, and can be consulted over certain medical conditions.'
