Optician Awards 2016: Specsavers goes the extra mile

The three practices shortlisted in the Multiple Practice category at the Optician Awards night this spring were all branches of Specsavers. However, the Torquay branch trumped its sibling practices.

Branch director Simon Simmonds says: ‘The awards night was fantastic. We had fun putting together an Awards portfolio of activities, goals and achievements that we spent 12 months working towards. In my mind winning the Multiple Practice of the Year Optician Award is the nearest you can get to being the best of the best in the UK. The nervous energy throughout the day itself just kept on building. When we were announced as winners we couldn’t believe it. The emotional outpour was massive. A true night to remember.’
