The Business
Specsavers Hailsham is a modern, medium-sized practice located within Quintins Shopping Centre, benefiting from a busy high‑street position with strong footfall and convenient customer parking, including additional parking to the rear for partners. The store underwent a Boost refurbishment two years ago. It is equipped with four test rooms, running three clinics on Saturdays and four on weekdays, and is currently closed on Sundays. A dedicated hearcare room operates five to six days per week supporting the Specsavers TotalCare approach to sight and hearing. The practice has the latest FARS equipement and an OCT.
Currently there is a retail team of eight, including a trainee and a part‑time dispensing optician. A strong “grow‑your‑own” culture underpins the team structure, with a dedicated resident clinical team comprising two optometrists and two pre‑registration optometrists.
