CBE for services to the contact lens industry

I was indeed delighted to receive a CBE in today's Queen's Honours List.

Credit for this recognition belongs to very many friends and family-members but, I believe, to the many Daysoft customers from around the world who purchase from us.  Many thanks and very best wishes for a wonderful 2012.   Kind regards   Ron

Thank you Mrs Williams ... I hope so too but having just celebrated my 70th birthday I have to start being realistic. Kind regards and thank you for being a customer. Ron

Congratulations! I, for one, am very grateful for all you have done. I switched to your lenses about 2 years ago and all the problems I had with monthly disposables completely disappeared. Thank you also for making them affordable. Amanda.

Thanks Amanda. It is feedback such as yours that makes it all worthwhile. The road had many twists and turns (ups & downs) but I learned a long time ago to persist, persist, persist. Kind regards

Congratulations on getting your CBE. It must be a wonderful feeling when getting reconized for the excellent work and company you have set up. I cant thank you personally enough for making contact lenses so affordable for me to wear every day. Reading stories like yours gives me and im sure others to continue working hard when starting your own business.
Thank you and again congratulations.

Thanks Lucy. I have always been fortunate in having very supportive people to work with. Success is never an overnight event ... as they say ... a process, not a destination. I wish you well in whatever you seek to do. Work hard, avoid debt and stay honest. Regards Ron

Congratulations the CBE is so well deserved, I love you contacts, I have been a wearer for many years but always in the past had to take them out part way through the day and never been able to wear them all day but with your lenses I can, they make me feel so much more confident than when I wear my glasses, thanks for your lenses

Congratulations Ron. Well deserved for making a necessary item for so many of us affordable and useable! Daysoft is such a good experience. Have you considered moving to employee ownership when you retire to ensure the ethos can remain?

Thanks Mandy and thanks Andrew. It's really good to get such feedback ... I know such responses take time and I appreciate what that means to everyone in these hectic-life-style-days. Regards Ron. PS Not really thought about retiring Andrew, I am only 70.

Ron - plenty of time to consider employee ownership as a succession solution before you do!

I know Andrew ... it's finding time ... the eternal response but without eternity to do it in .... Kind regards Ron

Ron - if you ever wanted a discussion about how employee ownership could work I'd be happy to visit Lanarkshire.
