A TOWN pharmacy is moving to new premises this weekend, Derwent Pharmacy will move from its current location as part of Derwent Surgery to the former job centre. Owner Neil Beecham said: When it comes to the logistics of the relocation, we will close at our normal time on Saturday May 1, move everything across from the Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, and open up at the new premises with our usual opening hours from Tuesday, May 4. The services etc of the pharmacy will be exactly as they are now, and as mentioned we hope to expand these in the coming weeks, months and years.
A family business set up in the 1970s is expanding to a new location. Beecham Pharmacy is relocated from its current premises adjoining Derwent Practice to the former job centre in Norton Road, Norton. Owner Neil Beecham, whose father Ian first opened a pharmacy in Malton, said: Over the years there have been many changes to the town and to the family business. The pharmacy that is currently at the surgery moved there from Yorkersgate in Malton about 12 years ago. Since then the business has grown, partly down to the growth of the town and it has got to the point where need more space.
