The leadership read
Consolidation of this kind shifts demand toward integration and transformation leadership bench strength in the sector.
“International expansion is one of our four key strategic growth pillars.”
“International growth is one of Sigma's four key strategic growth pillars and the Company remains committed to driving growth in its core offshore markets, while assessing and seeding new markets. This includes the UK where Sigma recently announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Greenlight Healthcare. Sigma engaged in the Boots sale process given the potentially unique opportunity it presented to accelerate its UK expansion through the market-leading Boots brand and large footprint. However, following its preliminary review the Company has concluded that such an acquisition would not currently meet its strategic and capital investment objectives.”
