TERRYWHITE Chemmart CEO, Anthony White, is stepping down from the role to focus on expanding the banner's reach, less than a year after EBOS Group assumed 100% ownership of the business (PD breaking news).
White will remain with the business as Executive Director of Pharmacy Network Development, while current Chief Operating Officer, Duncan Phillips, has been appointed as the new CEO, with immediate effect.
Announcing his decision, White said the time was right for fresh leadership with TWC entering "its next growth phase", after 11 years in the role.
"I'm very fortunate to have worked with so many talented pharmacy owners and the dedicated team at the support centre over the years," he said.
"It's been an absolute privilege and I look forward to supporting the further development of the network in my new role. In particular, it's been great working closely with Duncan on a wide range of initiatives to grow the group substantially over this period and I wish him every success in the future."
Pharmacy Guild of Australia Acting National President, Trent Twomey, noted that White had "guided the group through major structural and corporate change; change that has benefited pharmacies in the group and the profession as a whole".
Twomey also congratulated Phillips on his appointment, noting his respected international experience and strong relationships within the pharmacy industry would ensure TWC continues to expand to meet the needs of its patients.
