"Our franchise partners, pharmacists and pharmacy teams have all been going the extra mile, even before the pandemic, to ensure their local communities get the best care and this is why it is so important to acknowledge all their hard work.
"We are proud of all our award winners and congratulate them on their achievements and deserving wins.
"We look forward to seeing all recipients continue to embody DDS's values and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow with the brand."
