Have a go when you’re still young

Rhys owen - Pharma Group Holdings Ltd

Pharma Group has two operating divisions: the first is in sales, selling to vets, retailers and online: we are one of the UKs largest online pharmacies supplying pet owners in around 30 countries worldwide.  The second part of the business is as a provider of logistics to around 20 companies – filling, labelling, assembly and warehousing.

My inspiration has been the will to succeed; I learned a great deal from a very difficult first year.
