2010 has started well for us with a record month. We continue to work hard at providing great value contact lenses with first-class customer-care. Thank you for your support and trusting that 2010 has also started well for you. Our French language website www.daysoftlentilles.fr is performing well and we get some "What our Wearers Say" in French which test our language skills a little. Kind regards

Ron

As the year rapidly draws to a close it is a good time to thank all those who are customers, suppliers or employees. Sales grew by 40% and PBT has doubled ... we expect our Audited Accounts to be released in February or March 2010 and will publish details soon afterwards. In 2009 we saw our data-base of wearers jump as continued to offer good product at remarkably low prices to cutsomers arounf the world. Daysoft paid cash to buy its Laboratory and invested in new technology equipment for Contact Lens Manufacture ... a combined spend of over £2.5 Million. Headcount in Scotland increased by 70 new employees and Daysoft enters 2010 confident of sustained growth in sales, profit and new daysoft contact lens wearers. So, thank you to all who helped during 2009 and very best wishes to everyone for a peaceful New Year. Kind regards, Ron.

Mossend Primary School, Lanarkshire.

On Friday, 28 November 2008, I was at Mossend Primary School. This is the school my sisters and I attended 55 years ago and it was wonderful to be invited back to talk to the staff and pupils about business. This week is Enterprise Week so the pupils had researched great inventors and gave a series of presentation with wonderfully prepared colour posters on the life and work of Sir Robert Watson-Watt, James Young Simpson, James Goodfellow, Charles Macintosh, Sir Alexander Fleming, John Boyd Dunlop, William Murdoch, Alexander Graham Bell, John Logie Baird, James watt and Kirkpatrick Macmillan. Now, the observant reader will have noticed that these were all Scottish and the fact that this weekend is St Andrew's day gave an extra significance to the life story of these great inventors. My talk on the development of my career and creation of daysoft contact lenses hardly came up to the shoulders of these world famous names but I had something of an edge over them in one respect ... I am still alive and have a little time to do some catch-up!

Among the 300 children quietly sitting on the hall floor I am convinced there will be the inventors of tomorrow and if my talk has encouraged just one of them to "dream of better and better ways to do things" I will have made a small contribution to the economics development of our great country.

The dedication of the Enterprise Teacher, Jean Murray, and the Head Teacher, Sharon McPherson, gave me great confidence that the pupils leaving my 'old' school, Mossend Primary, will have the education and the ambition to do great things for themselves and for others in the proud tradition of the inventors whose life stories they so ably presented today. Many thanks for inviting me and best wishes to the inventors of tomorrow.
