Around the globe, the business has 2,721 optical, audiology, domiciliary and ophthalmology businesses operated by 43,593 employees and 5,330 partners.
Its 44.6m customers wore 580m contact lenses, sported 24.3m frames and 717,899 hearing aids while ophthalmic procedures totalled 96,602. Geographically, the UK still dominated, contributing £2.172bn of that turnover and the Republic of Ireland contributed a further £166m.
