Take a look at specs maker

INSPECS

INSPECS is a relative newcomer to the stock market, joining AIM in February 2020, just weeks before the UK went into lockdown. But the company was established back in the 1980s, when long-sighted founder Robin Totterman could not find a pair of glasses he liked.

Today, Inspecs designs and makes millions of frames and lenses, and sells them to more than 70,000 opticians and retailers around the world, from individual shops in local high streets to large chains such as Specsavers over here, Walmart in America,

and Asos online. Spectacles are made under well-known fashion brands, including Superdry, Marc O’Polo and Lulu Guinness, but Inspecs has several of its own labels too, such as Botaniq, whose models are made from biodegradable and recycled materials.

Totterman has done well since bringing his business to market. He has made some clever acquisitions, invested in a state-of-the-art lensmaking facility in Gloucestershire, expanded overseas and developed an ecommerce site as well.

Results for 2021 will be announced
