Licensed pharmaceutical establishment / exploitant
Explanation:
"exploitant" is a specific status in France: this person needs to have a pharmaceutical establishment license, they should have a qualified person, called a responsible pharmacist, and the exploitant is accountable for distribution and marketing of the medicinal product onto the French market, for medical information, and for pharmacovigilance. So whenever a foreign company wants to get onto the French market they have to have this exploitant on the ground, as well as a local qualified person for pharmacovigilance.

Because it is a French status, you could also choose to leave it in the source language just like they did in the first link.

"Exploitant, l'entreprise ou l'organisme se livrant à l'exploitation de médicaments autres que des médicaments expérimentaux, de générateurs, trousses et précurseurs mentionnés au 3° de l'article L. 4211-1.
L'exploitation comprend les opérations de vente en gros ou de cession à titre gratuit, de publicité, d'information, de pharmacovigilance, de suivi des lots et, s'il y a lieu, de leur retrait ainsi que, le cas échéant, les opérations de stockage correspondantes." (Source: Code de la Sante Publique).

According to the Code de la Santé Publique above, the "exploitant" is responsible of pharmacovigilance though. For this reason, more context from the source text in English might be needed.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks so much, I got told off by one of the answerers because it has been posted as a question before but I didn't see this link in the other answers, maybe I just missed it somehow, but this was precisely what is meant, clearly :)

There aren't a couple, there are lots, and I don't see any point in going over this again. But it definitely doesn't mean user in this context.

Note to reference poster
Asker: I did see a couple of discussions, promotor being one suggestion. I am wondering about "seller", but exploitant can also mean "user" as in health care users like hospitals, it's tricky in English.

Asker: None that I found seemed exactly what I needed and I felt I needed further clarification in order to provide a reliable translation for my client, sorry to have annoyed you Phil. I do always look to Proz before posting a query.

agree  abe(L)solano: According to EMA wording, which still applies for the UK (March 2020) it is Marketing Authorization Holder. And checking some drugs I have at home, the label reads "TITULAIRE/EXPLOITANT"
