Specsavers expands domiciliary business in Ireland

Specsavers’ domiciliary arm Healthcall is to expand into the Republic of Ireland following its full roll-out across the UK, including its successful introduction in Northern Ireland.

Two joint venture partnership businesses operate in Northern Ireland, one serving Ballymena, Omagh, Eniskillen and Derry and the other covering Belfast and Newry.

Specsavers Healthcall director of operations Maurice Livesey said: ‘Specsavers is proud to have UK-wide coverage three years after moving into the domiciliary eye care sector with the acquisition of Healthcall. Being able to serve all of Northern Ireland’s housebound customer’s eye care needs is a major milestone. With plans to expand in the Republic of Ireland too, we’re continuing our quest to be the most trusted and biggest provider of domiciliary services in the UK and Ireland.’
