This was achieved by carefully bringing together a creative team of strategic thinkers with an unparalleled understanding of the pharmacy landscape.
Rocket is an engine for brands. We’ll propel you forward and guide you along your desired trajectory.

“Having worked closely with Managing Director Matt Holmes over recent years, I know that his appetite for success is fuelled by innovation and revolution. His innate understanding of analytics, coupled with his intuition, commands respect.
Having worked with Rocket Director Corrine Holmes and her agency over the last 20 years, I have seen her business grow into the success story that it is today. This can be attributed to her commitment – making it her business to understand our business, her natural ability in forging relationships and a passion to understand the market and its trends.
Together, Matt and Corrine create a formidable force. Too many suppliers ‘launch and leave’. But I know Rocket will ‘launch and love’. And I foresee a star-filled journey together.” –
Ilias Babalis, General Manager, Chemist Warehouse Group
