Vision Express leads in poll of practitioners

Vision Express was the winner of a recent online poll asking eye care practitioners which multiple they would work for if they had to make a choice.

The poll, on UK optometry web forum theoptom.com, saw Vision Express gain nearly half of the vote (47 per cent). Specsavers was second in the standings with 26 per cent, ahead of the supermarket chains category and Scrivens Opticians, which collected 9 per cent of the vote each.

Boots Opticians received 4 per cent of the vote while Optical Express attracted just 2 per cent. To date, 75 eye care professionals have voted.

Vision Express HR director Kate Clayton said: ‘We are passionate about our people, so it’s great to have been recognised in this way. Our teams work hard to set a high standard within the optical industry and we in turn take great care in each of our employee’s career development.’
