Bridgepoint Pharmacy owner John Sarikas expressed overwhelming thanks and gratitude towards his staff and customers after receiving the 2020 North Shore Local Business Award for ‘Pharmacy of the Year’.

John and his wife, Denise, were awarded the trophy on Monday at the Gala Presentation Evening. Speaking to The Greek Herald, John said he wanted to thank his staff for their “tireless efforts, commitment, and dedication this year”.

“As a very proud 3rd generation Australian born Greek, I’m thrilled to receive this award for Bridgepoint Pharmacy in Mosman,” John said to The Greek Herald.

“This year, trading through Covid, has without a doubt been the most challenging in my 40 years of business.

“Winning Best Pharmacy in the North Shore in 2020 was a wonderful reward for providing and maintaining quality health care to our customers through this difficult time.”

John and Denise have owned the pharmacy for over two years, with this award being the first for the business since they took ownership. John added that the pharmacy underwent a major renovation last year, which helped them to provide quality service to their customers this year.

“We emphasise customer service as all good Greeks do, my wife and I work in partnership at the pharmacy and we work very hard,” John added.

The Bridgepoint Pharmacy in Mosman, Sydney, was one of up to thirty award recipients at the North Shore Local Business Awards ceremony.
