Expansion in Ayrshire

Scottish independent group Urquhart Opticians opens fourth practice

Scottish independent group Urquhart Opticians has made a six-figure investment with the opening of a fourth practice in Ayrshire and an additional optometrist.

The business has acquired Optical Outlet in Ayr’s Arran Mall and has planned a rebranding and refresh to the practice and the addition of optometrist Carol Semple, formerly of chain Black and Lizars.

Peter Telfer, business partner at Urquhart Opticians, said: ‘The acquisition of Optical Outlet

represents a significant investment for the business and reflects our continued confidence in providing high quality, cutting-edge eye care from traditional town centre locations. This is very much echoed by our appointment of Carol Semple – one of south-west Scotland’s most respected and renowned optometrists.’
