WLC celebrates 30 years of lens distribution

Stock lens supplier WLC celebrated its 30^th anniversary in September and marked its development from a team of three to a workforce of 46 people who deliver several thousand stock lenses each day.

The Croydon-based company was established in 1991 as a lens distribution service for optical practices in the UK and Ireland that provided quality lenses at reasonable prices.

Phil Emerton, site manager at WLC, has worked for the company since it was founded and said 30 years was a huge landmark for the team.

‘The idea was quite revolutionary at the time and our ethos has always been about providing great service for our customers,’ he commented.
