Heading up the division is Mr. Manfred Britz and he is supported by Mr. Richard Montgomery who manages the Sales representatives on the Coast. The 2 Managers have a combined experience of 39 years in the Pharmaceutical industry.

    "Having previously used Selling agents to market and sell our products, we are very excited to take the task on hand and grow our product portfolio. We have divided the sales force into 2 teams of representatives. The first team will service the Private Hospitals and Specialists, and the second team will service the Private Market (GP ´s and Pharmacies).
