Passion for the independent optical sector is what drives David Goad. Ten years ago that led him and business partner Nick Atkins to set up an event for independent practices which focused firmly on business.
‘This is our 10th anniversary and it’s a very special year for us,’ says Goad. ‘When we started Independents Day we didn’t really dream that it would take on the importance it has done in the optical calendar. We are very happy.’
‘It originated from a conversation between Nick Atkins and myself. We had started up Proven Track Record because at the time there was a dearth of CET for dispensing opticians. We also identified that there were a number of independent opticians who were incredibly good at being opticians but maybe lacked experience and vision as far as business was concerned. It seemed natural to have the meeting on Independence Day.’
