What partnership with Specsavers is all about…
Specsavers was founded in the UK by optometrists Doug and Dame Mary Perkins in 1984 and today enjoys global success. With more than 2000 stores across 11 countries, we are the world’s largest optical retailer and are fast establishing ourselves in the audiology market.
After significant success changing the market in the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, Specsavers recognised the difference it could make in reducing prices and making eye care accessible to Australians and New Zealanders. It entered the Australian and New Zealand market in 2008.
Aussies and Kiwis embraced the brand and the value and accessibility it bought, and by 2010 Specsavers was the market leader in New Zealand, and in Australia by 2011. Specsavers expanded into audiology in Australia in 2017 and New Zealand in 2019, offering hearing screening for all customers over 50 and transparency in pricing, something not readily available in the industry.
Each Specsavers business operates as a joint venture partnership, meaning the stores are part-owned and managed by its directors. They are supported by centralised teams of specialists within our Support Offices in areas such as marketing, accounting, IT and supply chain.
