Our History

The Halewood Chemicals Group was formed by Dr GJ Pritchard in 1947. Over the last 75 years the group has provided healthcare products to healthcare professionals all over the world – from small projects to national tenders.

Founded as a wholesaler of medicines and raw materials, Halewood has since expanded into the development and licensing of own brand generic pharmaceutical finished products and over-the counter (OTC) healthcare products.

To this day it continues to be a family business with Dr. Pritchard’s daughter Susan the current managing director.

As a third-generation family business everything Halewood does is underpinned by integrity, trust, excellence and a conviction to always think long term
