We were honoured to once again be part of the Barking and Dagenham Chamber of Commerce Awards this year—a vibrant celebration of local enterprise, innovation, and community spirit. For the third time, we joined fellow businesses from across the borough to recognise the outstanding contributions being made to our local economy and community.

This year's event was particularly special for the Care Optics family. We were thrilled to be shortlisted for the Green Business Award , a recognition that speaks to our deep commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility in all that we do.

The highlight of the evening was seeing our very own Director receive the prestigious Businessman of the Year award . This is an incredible honour and a powerful testament to his leadership, vision, and unwavering dedication to both our company and the community we serve.

A Legacy of Excellence

This year’s successes build on a proud history of recognition from the Chamber of Commerce. Our team’s dedication to excellence has been consistently acknowledged, and we are humbled by the commendations we've received over the years, including:

• Business of the Year (Winner, 2023)
• Employer of the Year (Winner, 2023)
• Training, Developing and Supporting Education (Winner, 2023)
• The Judges’ Award (2024)
• Customer Service
• Charity and Community Impact
• Innovation through the Use of Digital Media

Each award and nomination is a reflection of our team's collective hard work and our mission to deliver exceptional care and service. We believe a strong business is built on a foundation of community support, innovation, and a commitment to nurturing talent.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and nominees of the evening. We are inspired to be in the company of such incredible local businesses and look forward to many more years of growth, impact, and celebration within Barking and Dagenham.
