SightCare Awards unveils independents shortlist

Sightcare Awards 2022

A total of 28 independent optical practices have been shortlisted for the 2023 SightCare Independent Optician Awards, with seven categories recognising the best independents from across the UK.

Categories ranged from Independent Practice of the Year to recognising excellence in customer service, practice teams, sustainability, marketing, community practice and frame styling.

SightCare chief executive John French said:  ‘Entering awards is always good for business. It is an opportunity to inspect, dissect and correct your business from the inside out.

‘The SightCare Awards enable its member practices to look retrospectively, currently, and in the future at all aspects of their business, and to highlight areas in which they want to improve, grow and develop.’

The winners will be announced at the SightCare Conference on January 28 2024.
