Scottish group celebrates 50th anniversary

Duncan and Todd Opticians and Hearing Care Group held a series of birthday parties between August 26-27 at its practices to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

In Aberdeen, Elgin, Stonehaven, Banff, Banchory, Ellon, Fraserburgh, Forfar, Montrose and the original practice in Peterhead, customers and professionals attended events to mark the company’s milestone. Founded in 1972, the long-running practice gathered customers for refreshments, prizes and eye tests.

Frances Rus, Duncan and Todd Group managing director, said: ‘Reaching our 50th birthday is a huge milestone and Duncan and Todd Group is almost unrecognisable from the early days with just one branch in Peterhead.
