It’s now been nearly three decades since we opened the very first Vision Express store in Gateshead’s Metro Centre.

We’ve come a very long way since then. But our guiding principle remains the same. And that’s to provide an unparalleled level of customer service. A truly individual service, delivered in a professional yet welcoming environment where vision is taken seriously.

Through organic growth and acquisition there are now 593 Vision Express stores across the UK, Jersey and the Republic of Ireland – from big city destinations to local high street stores. Following our recent acquisition of Tesco Opticians, you’ll now find us in Tesco stores too.

Passion

We’re passionate about service, our products and our workplace. We’re positive, enthusiastic and engaging. We always put our customers first and put 100% into making sure they look and feel great.

Welcoming

Providing a genuine, caring service, we make everyone feel welcome. We engage customers with warmth, sincerity and expertise – taking a real interest in their individual needs and taking time to explain our service and products.

Seamless Teamwork

Without seamless teamwork, we just couldn’t deliver the outstanding level of customer service for which we’re known. We respect professional standards and each other. We always do what we say we’ll do and help out wherever we can.

Learning to succeed

Training and development at Vision Express will support your ongoing success in what could be a rewarding and unique career. It will also see you become an expert at delivering a truly individual service.

Learning here is interesting, interactive and informative. It’s also fun. Whatever your role when you start, we’ll equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to take your career in the right direction.

Starting with a thorough introduction to our business, we’ve put in place a number of training programmes designed to recognise and realise true potential. Their effectiveness is reflected in the fact that nearly 80% of our managers are in place through internal promotion.

The 5% Club

We’re proud to be backing the 5% Club – a nationwide initiative which sees employers commit to having at least 5% of their workforce aged between 16 and 24 on a structured training programme. We’re proud to say that the figure at Vision Express is now closer to 5.5%. We’re the first retailer to promise to provide support and training for our graduates, apprentices and sponsored students.

Apprenticeships

For enthusiastic young people we offer a 13-month apprenticeship programme that will give them lots of useful skills and valuable retail experience, plus a Level 2 qualification in Optical Retail and the foundations of a successful future career.

The Talent Academy concept was originally formed in June 2015 as an initiative by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust to support engagement of younger people into its workforce.

Due to its success, the Academy evolved in April 2016 incorporating its Lincolnshire stakeholders to strengthen and support local partnership and the benefits of collaboration.  

Today, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy is an umbrella body made up of health and care organisations within the County.  Led by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, the Academy represents a wide range of stakeholders from the health and care sector.

What do we do?

The Academy delivers proactive services to aid recruitment and skills development of our current and future workforce, whilst also ensuring the portability and integration of skills across the health and care system.

As employers, we work with students, schools, colleges and universities in addition to other agencies such as the DWP to provide services for individuals from the age of 14 and above, all of which are delivered in partnership though our stakeholders.  Our remit includes careers inspiration activities incorporating the engagement of the education sector and delivery of careers guidance and work experience, through to the management of apprenticeship training and support for apprenticeship trailblazer standards development across our stakeholders.

With a common shared goal across all stakeholders – to adopt a “grow our own” culture within the county, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy provides the foundation for our collaborative approach to the engagement, recruitment and development of talent within the Health and Care community.

Scientists need funding (research is expensive, we know) to find these things out, even how much they need to spend in order to do so. Investors aren’t sure which research is the best and are going to grow the quickest (return on investment), and where people should really spend their time (and money).

Throughout the history of business, people use science to make more informed decisions. Our mission at Nutrapharma is to make the science and healthcare economy more transparent. Today we provide the most actionable scientific discoveries, data & insights in the industry. We want to make this data and the products from this research, are available to as many people as possible (not just the top 5%). So we can all live healthier (and longer)!
