Still celebrating!...
Why being a finalist at the 2025 Optician Awards is a major win…
The 2025 Optician Awards have come and gone, and while we did not walk away with the "Supplier of the Year" trophy this time, the team at Performance Finance is far from disappointed. In fact, we are buzzing!
In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as optics, being shortlisted as a National Finalist is a significant achievement that speaks volumes about where we stand and where we are headed.
The meaning behind the shortlist.
To be recognised by a panel of expert judges means our commitment to supporting independent practices has not gone unnoticed.
Here is why we are treating this "loss" like a victory:
Peer Recognition:
Out of hundreds of suppliers across the UK, we were selected as one of the absolute best. That validation from industry leaders is priceless.
A Commitment to Excellence:
The criteria for Supplier of the Year focus on service, innovation, and support. Being a finalist confirms that our bespoke financial solutions are hitting the mark for opticians across the UK.
The Power of Connection:
The awards night was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with our clients and partners. Seeing the incredible work being done in the optical community reminds us why we do what we do.
Our Heartfelt Congratulations
We want to extend a massive congratulations to the winner of the Supplier of the Year category Mainline Optical Connections.
What’s Next for Performance Finance?
Being a finalist is not the finish line—it is fuel. We are already looking toward 2026 with a focus on:
1. Expanding our practice purchase support: Helping more optometrists transition from employee to owner.
2. Streamlining equipment finance: Ensuring practices have access to the latest technology without the stress of upfront costs.
3. Highlighting return on investment: Educating practice owners on why choosing to spread the cost of their investment is commercially beneficial to their practice.
4. Personalised service: Keeping the "Performance" in our name by being the most responsive finance partner in the sector.
"Success is not always about the trophy on the shelf; it's about the consistency of the service that got you into the room in the first place."
To our clients, partners, and the Optician team—thank you for an incredible journey to the finals.
