Vindon Healthcare, the AIM-listed pharmaceutical storage business, has increased profits before tax by 48.7 per cent, to £828,000, in the first half of 2008. Sales were up 21 per cent year-on-year to £2.6m, with the group’s fledgling Irish operation breaking into profit and £96,000 of sales being recorded in the US. Chairman Liam Ferguson told Insider: “We’re now moving operations over to our new facility on Kingsway in Rochdale, which is a step change. The aim has always been to make the big drug companies see that we can provide services for them and this investment can only help that. In time I’d like to see us storing five or six times what we do now.”
