About Joint Venture Partnership
Joint venture partnership is the secret to our success here at Specsavers, with every store locally owned and led by its directors. Owning, leading and growing your very own business is considered by many to be the pinnacle of your career as an optometrist. We believe that professional teams should be led by opticians just like you – this is your chance to become the leader you were born to be.
