People
Having the right people, capabilities and engagement across the organisation is fundamental to delivering our strategy and the long-term success of the Group. Our ongoing objective is to create a high-performing business driven by a skilled, unified and committed team.
Industry knowledge
We have extensive knowledge of the Companion Animal, Equine and Production Animal markets in which we operate and the regulations that govern them. More than 20% of our people are qualified vets.
Customer relationship
The relationships with the individual vets and veterinary groups that are our core customers are key and our sales force has extensive experience and knowledge of their markets and products to support the needs of these customers.
Partnerships
The Group has developed a series of partnerships that help support the success and smooth running of the business. These range from joint ventures that strengthen our pipeline and commercialisation agreements that increase the reach of innovative products through to long-standing relationships with contract research and manufacturing organisations.
Balanced portfolio
Animalcare operates a portfolio of around 200 brands with particular strengths in our core therapy areas of pain management, allergy and non-antibiotic anti-infectives. We continue to increase the quality of our portfolio through the development of novel differentiated products and a focus on a smaller number of bigger, higher margin brands.
Financial platform
Critical to our future growth is the further development of our product portfolio. Our solid financial platform, with improved cash generation and reduced net debt, enables us to increase investment and leverage our stronger base to deliver future growth and value to our shareholders.
Our core activities combine to create sustainable growth and long-term value for our stakeholders
- We develop and commercialise novel pharmaceutical products for the animal health market. These are developed in-house, acquired from other companies or in-licensed from partners.
- Outside our direct markets we seek to commercialise our own products through international partnerships.
- We manufacture our products through a network of specialist contract manufacturing organisations.
- We manage an extensive international supply chain, including specialist veterinary wholesalers.
- Through our close relationship with stakeholders and our sales and marketing capabilities we sell products to veterinary practices and veterinary groups.
- The cash we generate from these activities helps fund investment in our pipeline of new products and supports the continuing development of our sales and marketing capabilities.
