The Business
The businesses occupy strong positions across a prime High Street location and a nearby Sainsbury’s site, benefiting from high footfall and easy access to several public car parks. They draw from robust catchment areas that include several affluent surrounding villages.
From both a clinical and operational perspective, the businesses are well equipped, featuring on‑site glazing, NIDEK OCT technology in both stores, and a private‑only enhanced service model. Newbury offers six optical test rooms, offering 4/5 sight tests clinics most days, as well as 1 contact lens clinic a day, along with a well‑established and profitable audiology business.
Hectors Way operates from within a Sainsburys, offering two optical test rooms running daily and Hearcare services available three to four days per week. This is fully supported through the shared Hearcare clinic model linked to the Newbury hub.
People & Culture
The Newbury store is supported by a retail team of 30 colleagues, while Hectors Way operates with a team of seven. Management structures are well established, with Newbury led by three part‑time Deputy Managers and Hectors Way overseen by a full-time Manager. Both locations demonstrate a strong commitment to clinical development, maintaining a “grow your own” culture and actively supporting Pre‑Registration trainees. The businesses represent a large, well‑established operation.
Why This Opportunity?
This is an attractive opportunity to take on two well established and profitable businesses that have benefited from recent investment. The sites offer substantial clinical capacity and notable potential for further Hearcare growth. Experienced management teams are already in place, and the businesses serve an appealing demographic with strong connections to the local community. Overall, this represents an excellent option for an ambitious partner seeking scale, influence, and long‑term growth.
