Ask Pharma Consultants - UK
About Us
We are one of the 1st and largest buying consultant groups, and most likely the only one of its kind. Since starting operations in 2019, we have revolutionized the way pharmacies manage their buying needs.
Our journey began with just two pharmacies and has grown into a robust network of over 26 pharmacies. The idea for ASK Pharma Consultants Co was sparked when our founder, leveraging experience from working at a pharmaceutical wholesaler, decided to pursue an independent venture. The turning point came when one pharmacy entrusted us with their buying requirements, leading to our first agreement. From there, our commitment to personalized service and confidentiality has driven our growth.
Today, each pharmacy in our network is assigned a dedicated buying manager, ensuring tailored support and the highest standards of confidentiality. At ASK Pharma Consultants, we are proud to serve as trusted partners to pharmacies, delivering efficient and reliable solutions every step of the way.

We work tirelessly every day to manage your buying requirements efficiently. Once you partner with us, our team conducts a thorough assessment of your current suppliers and pricing.

You might be thinking, “Can’t we do this ourselves?” While that’s true, the real question is: Is it worth your time?
