Local firm officially certified as a 'Great Place To Work'

A locally owned pharmacy chain has officially been recognised as a "Great Place to Work"

Keane’s CarePlus Pharmacy group was recently certified as a 'Great Place to Work 2022' after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work® Institute Ireland.

The accreditation process is based on direct feedback from the firm's employees, provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about the workplace experience.

In a joint statement issued this week, Group CEO John Keane, chief operating officer Gillian Ryan and superintendent pharmacist Robert Keane said:

“It’s an absolute honour to be certified and have 96% of our team here at Keane's rate us as a 'Great Place to Work'. The commitment, compassion and care our team have for our customers and each other is something we grow prouder of everyday. We are at the heart of the communities we serve and want to make sure that our customers and team stay healthy and happy and having a work environment where people enjoy coming to work really helps with this.

“As an employer we know how important it is to continue to help our teams grow both personally and professionally and we look forward to helping them achieve this. The year ahead is an exciting one for us and we are excited to welcome new people to join our growing team. If you would love a career in pharmacy and health and an opportunity to work with some of the best talent in the industry, get in touch with us.”

Keane's CarePlus Pharmacy was founded by John Keane in September 2008 when he opened their first pharmacy at Market Point in Mullingar. Shortly afterwards Robert Keane joined the team opening their Green Road pharmacy in 2010. Over the next few years they have continued to grow and now have six pharmacies with locations in Mullingar, Enfield and Edenderry. The firm currently employs over 60 people.
