OSA joins ABDO member benefits programme

Stuart Burn, OSA chairman

From today (31 March 2021), all members of the Optical Suppliers Association (OSA) will be eligible to join the ABDO benefits programme.

In addition to the existing range of member benefits, this provides individuals with an enormous array of health and lifestyle benefits – from discounts in High Street stores such as M&S and Waitrose, concessions on Apple products, lower insurance rates, reduced gym memberships and much more.

OSA chairman, Stuart Burn, said: “This is a very exciting step for the OSA. There has never been a more important time to focus on wellbeing and by collaborating with ABDO, we have delivered our members’ employees with an exceptional array of benefits and discounts. This programme will allow members to enjoy exciting resources away from work, and we are delighted to be able to facilitate that.”

ABDO general secretary, Tony Garrett, commented:“I am delighted that OSA members can now access ABDO lifestyle benefits. There has always been a close link between dispensing opticians in practice and our partners in industry, who provide both equipment and products. I hope that this initiative will be the start of a new and even closer working relationship.”

The OSA provides a platform for the optical industry to network, engage, influence regulation and spearhead developments in optics in the UK. It provides a thriving network for companies involved in all aspects of manufacturing, distribution, and supply to optical practices.
