This is a genuine entrepreneurial opportunity for professionals ready to move from employed to owner. Who We're Looking For Experienced optical professionals (Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, Retail Managers, Optical Assistants ready to step up) Individuals with strong leadership capability Commercially minded and motivated by ownership Community-focused and customer-first Ready to take accountability for performance, people and growth You do not need previous business ownership experience but you do need drive, resilience and ambition. Why Bristol Bristol has creative energy and commercial confidence. It's youthful but established; a city of founders, creatives, professionals and families. There's independent spirit here. Customers are design-aware and culturally plugged in, but still practical. IOLLA's transparent pricing and own-brand manufacturing story would land well = it fits the "do things differently" mentality. For a Joint Venture Partner, Bristol is about momentum. Strong footfall, strong identity, and room to build something distinctive. Investment & Commitment This is a capital-backed partnership opportunity requiring personal investment and external funding. We are looking for serious candidates who are ready to explore ownership properly review financials, sign an NDA and enter structured discussions. We have selected specific priority locations with strong commercial potential. When they are filled, they are filled. Why IOLLA? Because optics can be better. Better for customers. Better for teams.
