Vision Call is named a fast-track company

Vision Call Opticians has been named one of the UK's fastest growing private companies, coming 38th in the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track league table published last weekend.

The Cambuslang-based business brings mobile testing services to care homes and has seen its sales grow from £785,000 a year in 2003 to £5.9m in 2006, a rise of 95.85 per cent. It now employs 120 staff, including 25 optometrists and seven dispensing opticians.

Three Glasgow businessmen, colleagues in a care-home business, set up the company in 1994 and it claims to have 67 per cent of the care-home market in Scotland, with clients in over 4,000 care homes across Britain.
