2011 FAST 50 >> Rank 18

Specsavers

More than a quarter of a century ago, Specsavers was born on a table-tennis table in a spare bedroom of the Perkins family home. Optometrists Doug and Mary Perkins had a simple plan: to offer a wide range of stylish, fashionable glasses at prices everyone could afford, with no compromise on the standards of eye care. From just two people with a dream, Specsavers has grown to become the third largest supplier of eye care in the world. They now employ over 26,000 people and support almost 1400 practices in ten countries. With growth of 344.50%, Specsavers rank number 18 on the 2011 Deloitte Fast 50 Index.
