A company that operates a chain of pharmacies has gone into administration after setting up as a family business in 2023. Amiry & Gilbride Healthcare Limited (AGH) runs 13 stores across Scotland under LP North 14 Limited and LP North 15 Limited. Its two prescription collection units also provide services, including prescription locker collections and free medicine pouching.

An order from the Court of Session appointed administrators to the holding company, though neither of the two subsidiaries comes under this ruling. Instead, they are expected to be sold, and the pharmacies operated by them will continue trading as normal.

The joint administrators said they are creating a new governance structure for the subsidiaries, which will operate under director John Gilbride and his team.

They said: "The joint administrators will work with John and his team to gain a clear understanding of the financial position of the AGH group.

"Once complete they will then look to sell the group via a marketing process. Interested parties are encouraged to make contact with the joint administrators without delay."

Amiry & Gilbride Pharmacy and Travel Clinic is described on its website as a family-run, independent business.

It says: "In 2023, Mahyar and Sara Nickkho-Amiry partnered with John Gilbride to take over pharmacies being sold off by a large corporation."

Administrators were appointed for the holding company on April 29.

According to Amiry & Gilbride Pharmacy and Travel Clinic's website, its head office is in Glasgow, where it has several stores. It also has branches in Paisley, Lanarkshire and the Highlands.
