Bayfields Opticians expands business in double acquisition

Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists has bought opticians practices in Lancashire and Surrey as part of its expansion plan.

The company has acquired Spex Opticians in Clitheroe and Eyesite Opticians in Woking, with the aim to own 40 UK practices by 2025. Both premises have closed and patients have been transferred to nearby existing Bayfields practices.

Founder and managing director of Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists, Royston Bayfield said: ‘The last few years has seen us establish a stronger presence in both the north and south of England, and there has been great feedback and demand for our state-of-the-art eye and hearing health services. Acquiring Eyesite Opticians in Woking will further strengthen our offering in Surrey, while the acquisition of Spex in Clitheroe expands our reach further west outside Yorkshire in the north.’
