In 1997, Mary Bolton embarked on a visionary journey to revolutionise the pharmacy staffing industry with the inception of Pharm-Assist. Driven by her deep-rooted passion for both healthcare and entrepreneurship, Mary recognised a pressing need for a more efficient and reliable platform to connect Locums with pharmacy providers.

Drawing from her extensive background in pharmacy management and a keen understanding of the challenges faced by both Locums and pharmacy establishments, Mary set out to create a solution that would streamline the process of staffing while prioritising professionalism and quality. Due to significant growth, she later brought her son, Mark, her daughter in-law Johanne and granddaughters, Madeleine and Stephanie into the business (along with other instrumental team members!), transforming Pharm-Assist into a family-led enterprise.

With a commitment to excellence and a vision for innovation, the Bolton family continues to steer Pharm-Assist, ensuring that it remains to this day a beacon of reliability and integrity within the pharmacy community.
