Jhoots Pharmacy and a string of related companies have collapsed into administration, with around 100 redundancies confirmed among staff.

100

Redundancies confirmed

The chain grew quickly after acquiring more than 100 former LloydsPharmacy branches in 2023, becoming one of the UK's largest independent pharmacy groups. But dispensing volumes fell sharply through 2025, and staff wages reportedly went unpaid from as early as July that year.

Administrators were appointed at the end of December 2025, with debts reported in the tens of millions of pounds. Allied Pharmacies has since agreed to take on around 60 of the branches, though many staff have already received redundancy notices.

Why this matters if you're facing redundancy

Staff caught up in the Jhoots collapse should not assume unpaid wages before administration are simply lost. Statutory redundancy pay, notice pay and holiday pay can still be claimed through the Redundancy Payments Service even where the employer never settled up before folding. Where a branch has been taken over by a new operator such as Allied Pharmacies, TUPE may protect continuity of employment and terms, so it is worth establishing quickly whether a transfer applies to your site. These claims are time-limited, so anyone affected should act promptly rather than wait for further clarity from administrators.

Because 100 or more roles are affected, your employer should be running a collective consultation lasting at least 45 days before any dismissal takes effect. These thresholds apply per establishment, so the exact position depends on how the cuts are spread across sites.
