Inside a 40-year independent success story

Andrew Morgan Optician

Independent optical practice owners and managers are being invited to take an exclusive look inside one of the UK’s long-established independent practices as SightCare continues its series of regional networking events.

Hosted at Andrew Morgan Opticians in Boston Spa on Tuesday 6 October, the evening will offer delegates the opportunity to discover how the practice has evolved and continued to thrive over more than four decades while remaining proudly independent.

Led by SightCare’s Regional Development Manager, Cindy Scott, alongside Andrew Morgan and his team, the event is designed to encourage open discussion between independent practitioners, offering practical business insight alongside valuable networking opportunities.

Guests will hear the story behind the practice’s continued success; enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at its operations and exchange ideas with fellow practice owners and managers from across the region.

The evening will also be supported by Modstyle Eyewear UK, whose team will be on hand to meet attendees, join the conversation and share insights from across the independent optical sector.

Emma Rawlings, CEO of SightCare, said:

“Every independent practice has a unique story, and there is enormous value in learning from those who have successfully adapted and grown over many years.

“By opening the doors to practices like Andrew Morgan Opticians, we hope to inspire conversations, encourage collaboration and demonstrate the strength of the independent optical community.”

Andrew Morgan, owner of Andrew Morgan Opticians, said:

“We’ve been proud to serve our local community for more than 40 years, and we’re looking forward to welcoming fellow independent practitioners to see how our practice has evolved. Independent practice has always been about sharing knowledge and supporting one another, so we’re delighted to be part of this event.”

The event is open to both SightCare members and non-members and is aimed at independent practice owners and managers looking to gain fresh ideas, build new connections and learn from a well-established independent business.
