SightCare names 2019 awards finalists

2018 Independent Opticians Award winners, Molsom & Associates

Twenty independent optical practices have been shortlisted in their chosen categories for the 2019 SightCare Independent Optician Awards.

The SightCare Awards recognise the best independent opticians from across the UK.

Through the SightCare competition, independent practitioners and their staff enter learning initiatives and independent business content in various categories for recognition of excellence.

Awards categories included: Marketing Campaign, Customer Service Excellence, Practice Team, Special Moment and Independent Practice of the Year.

Finalists are selected by a group of experienced judges and, from that group of finalists, one winner from each category will be awarded at the SightCare Conference on 16 September.

SightCare chief executive, John French, said: “Entering awards is always good for business. It is an opportunity to inspect, dissect and correct your business from the inside out. SightCare has introduced its own awards to encourage its member practices to look retrospectively, currently, and in the future at all aspects of their business, and to highlight areas in which they want to improve, grow and develop.”

The names of all the finalists can be viewed on the SightCare website here.
