Glasgow-based online pharmacy, Simple Online Healthcare, has nearly doubled headcount to 99 after increasing their revenue by 56% to £23.4 million and expanding operations across the UK, Germany, and Australia.

Founded by Addy Mohammed and Karim Nassar in Glasgow in 2015, Simple Online Healthcare offers a free online NHS England prescription delivery service, an online pharmacy store, and online doctor services in the UK, Australia, and Germany.

Simple Online Healthcare Co-founder Addy Mohammed said: “Last year saw us significantly scale and invest across the business, in terms of geography, supply chain, technology, and our team. Overall, we are one step closer to realising our ambition to be a truly global provider of patient-centric care.”

The company is planning for further expansions into Europe, and has invested £1m in next generation AI powered by BD Rowa robotics, hoping the technology will boost capacity and reduce unit costs for NHS dispensing.

Further to its employee expansion, Former Skyscanner and TravelNest senior executive Rebecca Moore joined the business as chief operating officer (COO) in 2022, and the company reportedly has a number of further senior hires in the pipeline.

In 2022, Simple Online Healthcare acquired Kaspel and Dr Felix brands from Stark Healthcare. Now integrated into the group, Kapsel provides primary care services to patients across Germany, while Dr Felix is an online doctor clinic service serving patients UK-wide.
