Back-office services for independent eye care
Hakim Group is the largest network of independent opticians and audiologists in the UK and Ireland. It uses a joint venture model that acquires a majority stake in practices while the original owners keep a minority share and continue to manage, letting each practice keep its brand and community focus. The group provides centralized back-office support—procurement, finance, accounting, IT, technical support, HR, and training—so clinicians can concentrate on eye and hearing care, with revenue coming from these shared services. Its goal is to grow its network, scale its support platform, and improve efficiency and patient care across the optical and audiology sectors.
