Dean & Smedley Ltd

Dean & Smedley has been family run since it’s foundation in 1927 - Richard Dean, the present Managing Director is the third generation to be in charge. The family feel of the company is, we hope, one of the reasons for its success over the years and also for the loyalty and long service of its staff.

We run modern, attractive, community pharmacies designed so that we can respond to the needs of the local people in the most appropriate way. Crucial to this approach is the caring professional, the pharmacist, able to communicate effectively and run an efficient and profitable dispensary and shop.
