Everest Pharmacy (the registered pharmacy behind Everslim services) has attracted attention across the industry for its strategic growth and innovation in pharmacy care.
Noteworthy Media Coverage
In early 2025, Manchester-based Everest Pharmacy acquired five pharmacies from the Sykes Chemist Group, expanding its network to 22 community branches across the North West. This significant acquisition was featured in Pharmacy Magazine, Business Sale, Christie & Co’s press release, and The Business Desk, highlighting Everest’s growing footprint in regional healthcare.
Everest Pharmacy has also been recognised for its technological innovation. It introduced MedPoint prescription collection machines in two high‑traffic branches (Manchester and Darwen). These installations made headlines in MedPointUK and spotlighted how Everest prioritises convenient, patient‑centric services.
During the COVID‑19 pandemic, Everest Pharmacy launched community vaccination clinics, complete with socially distanced marquees. Owner Waqqass Sheikh spoke with Chemist & Druggist about how Everest became a trusted partner in public health delivery during a critical period.
Summary
From rapid growth through acquisition to pioneering patient‑focused technology and volunteering vital community services during the pandemic, Everest Pharmacy has demonstrated leadership and innovation. These moments underline our commitment to high‑quality, accessible care — the foundation on which Everslim is built.
