A strategic approach to all your procurement needs

We will make a positive difference to your business

We understand how challenging it is out there for you. Political and economic pressures. Changing customer expectations. Accelerating technology. Ambitious competitors. Fewer, more dominant suppliers. Vulnerable supply chains. And the constant pressure to reduce costs. All while making – and being seen to make – a positive contribution to society.

Affinity Optical is here to deliver value for you – enhanced quality, reduced costs, sustainable supply and ultimately customer loyalty. Responsible sourcing to deliver improved performance. We make a difference at every stage, from strategy and innovation through to manufacture and supply.

Partnership is at the heart of everything we do

We believe in building long-term win-win relationships with our clients and with our suppliers, based on shared values. It’s the way we’ve always worked.

Our approach is responsible, ethical and sustainable. We’re in this business because we love what we do.

Our track record is unique

With decades of experience as optical strategists and specialists, we have a unique insight into customer needs, branding and product.

We bring with us long-established relationships with some of the world’s leading optical designers and manufacturers, ensuring an ethical and sustainable supply chain. Yet we remain independent. Not beholden to any particular supplier.

It’s fair to say there is no other agency like us in optical product and eyecare.

As supply chain consultants we’ve achieved some staggering results…

• Annual like for like savings of 44% on frames, 28% on lenses and 33% on clinical instruments
• Enhanced quality control and logistics – frame delivery time cut by a third and reduced remakes. Supported the development of new technology to enhance the clinical journey for the customer.

Our values

We could give you a long list of words around integrity, respect, passion, transparency, ethical and so on. But really it just boils down to we treat people as we would wish to be treated ourselves.

If we live by this value, we can’t go wrong.
