Daysoft reports 4.7% sales boost

Daysoft has reported sales growth of 4.7% to reach £10.83m in turnover for the 2015 financial year.

The contact lens manufacturer, based in Blantyre, Scotland, posted profits of £1.5m.

Ron Hamilton, Daysoft founder and executive chairman, said: ‘Our consistent success is attributable to Daysoft’s unique business model, daysoft.com against which no other contact lens retailer can price-match fairly.

‘The traditional model for contact lens sale and supply is that the lenses are produced by major manufacturers, shipped to their various country-based distribution centres, then sold and supplied on to high-street opticians who then sell and supply to consumers.

‘By contrast, Daysoft produces all its lenses at our single manufacturing base where we take orders 24/7 from around the world using our advanced e-commerce website and posts direct to wearers’ home or office address. Simple, when you have the know-how.’
