The family-run business has been operating through Scotland since 2023.
Another business has fallen into administration, which could leave another whole on Scottish high streets this year. It has been reported that a family-run company that operates a chain of multiple pharmacies has had to appoint administrators.
Operating since 2023, Amiry & Glibride Healthcare Limited (AGH) runs 13 stores in Scotland under LP North 14 Limited and LP North 15 Limited, as well as other branches. These stores can be found across Glasgow, including Anniesland, Bearsden, Drumchapel, and Paisley, as well as in Lanarkshire and the Highlands.
The company also owned two prescription collection units, which provided services to customers such as free medicine pouching and prescription locker collections. The pharmacies also offered free medicine care and reviews and a free enhanced minor ailments service.
According to the Express, an order from the Court of Session has appointed administrators to the holding company. However, neither of the two subsidiaries will be affected. Instead, they are expected to be sold, with the pharmacies continuing to run trading as normal.
The joint administrators of AGH have said they are creating a governance structure for the subsidiaries, which will be operated 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.”
In 2023, Mahyar and Sara Nickkho-Amiry reportedly partnered with John Gilbride to take over the pharmacies that were being sold off to a larger corporation.
Ever since, the Amiry & Gilbride Pharmacy and Travel Clinic has been described on its website as a family-run, independent business. However, administrators were appointed for the holding company on April 29.

This comes after it was announced that a Scottish carpet and flooring company has gone bust. The Floor Studio, located in Elgin, Moray, entered “compulsory liquidation” last week on May 5.
Founded in 2013, a public notice on the Gazette shared that Stuart Robb of Robb Advisory had been appointed as liquidator on April 29.
Listed as a carpet and flooring retailer, information on the Companies House website from 2024 show it employed 10 staff members.
