Specsavers secures eyecare provision for Barr

Specsavers Corporate Eyecare today announces that an agreement has been put in place to provide eyecare for Barr Industrial, Environmental and Manufacturing. Specsavers Corporate Eyecare is providing safety eyewear to relevant personnel and Premium Club vouchers to all 370 staff employed within these three major divisions of Barr Ltd.

Established in the late 19th Century and one of the UK’s leading contractors, Barr takes health and safety extremely seriously and regularly, actively communicates the issues to staff. Barr has selected Specsavers Corporate Eyecare as its provider of safety eyewear because it is well aware of the benefits of experienced optometrists with expertise in prescribing high-quality safety glasses.

Specsavers Corporate Eyecare not only prescribes safety eyewear to suit the specific needs of each individual user, opticians also personally fit the glasses to ensure that eyewear is comfortable and fit for purpose. Gareth Richards, health and safety officer at Barr, says: ‘Specsavers’ eyecare vouchers are a good, cost-effective solution. More importantly, they offer us a very practical approach to safety eyewear. We are confident that our staff will receive the best care and expertise.’

Barr employees will also benefit from Specsavers Corporate Eyecare’s Premium Club vouchers. Offering a tangible employee benefit, the Premium Club vouchers are available free when ordering any combination of Specsavers Corporate Eyecare vouchers. Premium Club vouchers entitle the holder to a £20 discount on all glasses from the £99 range or above, including designer ranges.

The vouchers can be handed out among all levels of staff and they can be redeemed at any of Specsavers’ 652 UK stores. Each employee is entitled to three Premium Club vouchers per year: one for themselves and two for family members. The vouchers simply have to be presented at any Specsavers store for family members to be eligible for the same discount.
