Administration period for Oxford pharmacy extended

According to the Oxford Mail, joint administrators Paul Cooper and Paul Appleton of BTG Begbies Traynor have applied to the High Court of Justice to extend the administration period for Ahmeys pharmacy, after the Oxford business fell into administration in July 2025.

This period has now been extended to 16 July 2027, documents submitted to Companies House say, the report said.

Ahmeys fell into administration with a contract exchanged in July 2025 to sell the chemist in Oxford Road, Cowley, using a £122,500 deposit against a £1.23m sale price.

However, the sale was delayed as the buyer, PharmaLearn, struggled to secure funding due to lower lender valuations and a weak property market, administrators previously said.

Shortly after being taken over by the administrators, MedLearn and Pharmalearn vowed to buy the pharmacy.

Faiza Saleem is a director of both purchaser companies and is also connected to Nisar Ahmad, the sole director of Ahmeys, the administrators said.
