Paul Houston joins See20/20

Former Optisoft SALES & MARKETING DIRECTOR PAUL HOUSTON, has joined Kingswinford-based practice management software company, See20/20, as Sales and Marketing Director.

“Having tracked See20/20’s progress over the last eighteen months, I’ve become increasingly convinced that web-based practice management systems are the way forward,” explained Paul. “Industry experts are already predicting that, by the end of the decade, patients will expect to be able to log on from their work or home to make eyecare appointments and shop for spectacles and contact lenses, so the prospects for See20/20 are extremely promising. I’m very much looking forward to building on See20/20’s success to date and consolidating its strong position in the market.”

“We’re delighted to have Paul on board,” said See20/20’s Managing Director, Andy Chance-Hill. “This is a pivotal time for the business and Paul has joined a strong experienced team including Nizar Hirji, Dean Butler and John Leftwich (ex Vice president Microsoft). We’ve always had ambitious plans for See20/20 but are now in a position to grow our presence in the UK and look further afield at Europe, Russia and even Australia. With Paul’s expertise and 15 years knowledge of IT in the optical marketplace, I’m confident that we will make considerable in-roads in both areas.”
