Welcome to the Dixon and Hall eCommerce Site.

Dixon and Hall Ltd. were only established on June 19th 2000 but via it's Managing Director Mr Noel Dixon the company carries on a pharmacy tradition stretching back some 50 years. The company was formed from a restructuring of the business of Dixon and Spearman Ltd.

Dixon and Spearman were originally established as Dixon's Chemist in 1950. Essentially a family run business the Company management passed from the founder Mr Harry Dixon to Noel Dixon (son) and his co-directors Terry Spearman and Jaqueline Parkin (daughter).

The Company became incorporated in 1975 and until the year 2000 operated a chain of four retail pharmacies situated at Stanley, Lowfell, Whickham and Peterlee.
On restructuring the new company (Dixon and Hall Ltd) now carries on the businesses at 79, Front Street, Stanley and 60, York Road, Peterlee and is managed by Noel Dixon and John Hall. Both NHS and private prescriptions are dispensed and a wide range of medicines, including the latest remedies are available.

The customer base is broad and well established and ranges from large national companies such as Nissan, Philips and British Gas, to smaller local concerns covering all kinds of industry, business and services.
