2013 - 2018

Duncan and Todd owns and operates a chain of opticians in Scotland, with shops stretching from Fife to the Highlands. The business also manufactures its own lenses at its laboratory in North East Scotland.

During BGF’s investment, Duncan and Todd acquired two independent opticians, increased their manufacturing capacity following a £1.3m refurbishment, and grew its revenue to £16m. Four years later, the business made a successful exit to private equity investor LDC in 2018.
