VUL (Vulcan Two Plc) quietly building a £36m revenue ePharmacy platform
One small cap that’s been quietly assembling a serious digital healthcare platform is Vulcan Two Plc (VUL).
The company listed in autumn, raising £11m at IPO, and recently completed another £40m raise at £2 per share to execute a buy-and-build strategy in the UK ePharmacy / digital pharmacy sector.
They’ve already moved quickly with the capital.
Vulcan has acquired three revenue-generating digital pharmacy businesses for a combined £41m, which together are expected to generate around £36m revenue in 2025.
The businesses include:
CloudRx – One of the largest digital private prescription dispensers by volume in the UK.
Revenue has scaled rapidly from £5.4m in 2021 to £23.2m expected in 2025, expanding from mainly HRT prescriptions into multiple treatment categories.
Webmed – A vertically integrated B2C online pharmacy operating via its own e-commerce platform.
Founded in 2014, it focuses on discreet treatment and testing for sensitive health conditions.
Hyperdrug – A direct-to-consumer pharmacy and online pet store, selling veterinary medicines, human medications and animal care products.
Combined, these acquisitions give Vulcan exposure to human prescriptions, telehealth treatments, and veterinary e-commerce.
Another development today: the company announced it has secured a lease on a centrally located distribution centre, which will bring all brands under one logistics hub. That should improve fulfilment efficiency, inventory control and scalability as the platform grows.
The team behind Vulcan also has real sector pedigree.
The founders previously built Vision Direct, the online contact lens retailer, and exited the business for ~£100m. So they’ve already proven they know how to build and scale a digital healthcare e-commerce business.
The thesis here is fairly straightforward:
Build a consolidated digital pharmacy platform, integrate operations, scale marketing and logistics, and grow a profitable healthcare e-commerce group.
With £36m revenue already assembled and infrastructure now being consolidated, VUL looks like it’s still early in executing that strategy.
