Optovision appoints UK national sales manager

German lens company Optovision has appointed Bruce Richardson as its UK national sales manager.

Richardson previously worked for the Norville Group and L'Amy Group and is keen to further expand Optovision in the Uk following its initial roll-out two years ago.

Since the company was founded 25 years ago, it has provided support to practices around Europe and its lens portfolio includes Infinity back-surface progressives using Freeform technology, photochromics, progressive, bi-focal and single vision products.

Richardson said: 'Optovision holds a substantial share of the domestic market for lenses in Germany and we are looking to replicate that success in the UK through independent practices and small groups. Optovision's excellent, market-leading technology, results in sales of some 2.3 million lenses a year, with over half a million held permanently in stock.'

He added that the company offers independents and small groups a great service and great products at competitive prices. 'With Optovision you will always get a personal service,' he said.
