Where the work comes from

How referrals work for an optician

Your best referrals don’t often come from online advertising. They come from people who regularly talk to families, older people and screen-based workers. That’s why GPs, audiologists and employers are such natural allies for any optician.

How our meetings work

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day starts. Each week you have 60 seconds or more to present your services. Between meetings, members arrange one-to-one catch-ups to learn what each other is looking for, and we have a genuine social side too.

Does the optician have to be based in Billericay?

No. Our members come from across Essex, so any trusted optician in the area is welcome.
