A leap of faith

After a decade gaining experience and honing his skills alongside Day Lewis and Avicenna, Mithun Markwana took the leap and became the owner of his own community pharmacy, Bridge Road Pharmacy in Farnborough. When he learned that a nearby contractor was approaching retirement, Mithun decided to ‘do it for himself’ and looked for powerful pharmacy finance to help him spread his wings.

Why Woodsford RxBridge?

A personal reference held weight for Mithun and a recommendation from Christie Finance, his pharmacy vendor, led him to contact the Woodsford RxBridge team in search of working capital finance.  A facility from Woodsford RxBridge improved his cash position and allowed him to develop the services he needed to offer for the business to thrive.

“The first few months were challenging. Limited cashflow made it difficult to continue to offer some services for free. But as a new owner, I felt it was important to do it to keep the customers happy.
It’s important to act rather than wait for things to happen.’
