THE former Co-operative Pharmacy branches in Wiltshire have been re-launched with a new look and name, as part of the UK’s largest independent pharmacy chain, Well.

Two local unsung heroes, Herta Buckeridge and Peter Steadman, helped launch the new Well pharmacy in Calne with the town's mayor Howard Marshall.

Following change of ownership, Warminster, Chippenham and Calne all have re-branded pharmacies.

Mark Nuttall, regional manager for Well in Wiltshire, said: “Our aim is to be part of the fabric of the local community, so we’re overjoyed that we were able to celebrate Herta and Peter’s commitment to the community, giving us a further reason to celebrate.

"We recognise that many of our customers like Herta and Peter are tireless in their efforts to support local people and the local area, which is why we wanted to celebrate this at our grand opening.

"We are excited to unveil the new look pharmacies and all of our branch colleagues are looking forward to providing personalised health and wellbeing services, as they continue to serve the local communities throughout the country.”
