Inspecs flourishes outside London bubble

Bath-based eyewear designer and producer Inspecs has earned a place on the final shortlist of the Sunday Times Fast Track Profit 100 ‘Ones to Watch’ rankings on the strength of management, challenges overcome, innovation, past growth and prospects.

Judges were impressed with the company’s output of eight million frames annually for several brands around the world and a forecasted profit of £9.5m for 2019.

Now in its 14th year, the Profit Track 100 list has played host to many of Britain’s most successful private companies. Previous winners include household names such as Barbour, Moonpig and Dyson.

Robin Totterman, CEO of Inspecs, which also has offices in Portugal, the US, China and Vietnam, said: ‘At a time of great uncertainty, it’s a real milestone for Inspecs to be included in the top 10 ‘Ones to Watch’ alongside the Sunday Times Fast Track Profit 100 companies.
