Where the work comes from

How introductions work for an optician

Your best referrals don’t often come from cold marketing. They come from people who regularly work with families, older people and screen-based workers – usually right at a blurry screen or a new job. That’s why GPs, audiologists and employers make natural allies for every optician, in Maldon or anywhere in Essex.

How our meetings work

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day gets going. Each week you have 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your business – far more than some larger networking groups give you. Between meetings, members arrange one-to-one catch-ups to learn who makes a good referral.

Not at all. Our members come from across Essex, so any trusted optician in the area is welcome.

No. Visiting costs nothing, and you’re under no obligation to join. Join us one Thursday, meet the members and decide for yourself.
