Almus Pharmaceuticals has appointed a dedicated Almus® sales force which will enable it to offer increased levels of customer service on generics to pharmacists throughout the UK. With extensive short-line and full-line experience, the new team comprises Rachel John, Olivia Mitchell and Lesley McCormick.

Rachel John brings 11 years of sales experience including seven years with Sandoz, where she most recently held the position of National Development Executive. Olivia Mitchell has also spent 11 years in the pharmaceutical industry, including seven years in business development for both Waymade Healthcare and Dowlehurst.
