Pewsey-based optical group Haine & Smith has been named Software Practice of the Year at the prestigious 2014 Optician Awards.
The award was presented to partner Angela Davey and IT manager Thomas Pears by impressionist and comedian Jon Culshaw at a glittering ceremony at London’s Hilton Park Lane on Saturday, April 12.
“In our category we were up against four other excellent finalists including the Aston University Optometry Clinic, so it came as a real surprise when Haine & Smith’s name was read out,” said Angela.

This award followed many months of hard work upgrading the patient management system used within the firm’s 19 practices, alongside integrating the software with new lens ordering and reporting systems at its head office and at Kennet Optical, its own glazing laboratory in Pewsey.
