FMO changes name

The Federation of Manufacturing Opticians has rebranded as the Optical Suppliers Association (OSA) and outlined plans to work in closer collaboration with other associations.

A website has been launched and new benefits have been created for members, including a partnership with ABDO, alongside a new fee structure from March.

Stuart Burn, chair of the OSA, said: ‘The reason for name change is to better convey exactly who we are and what we stand for. Our revised mission statement reinforces our message and our financial restructure gives us the platform to re-energise the association and provide the financial muscle to deliver lasting tangible support to optical suppliers and their staff.’
