Our Vision

Peter, Colin & Paul have over 50 years of combined business experience in the hearing care sector.

The TAC vision is based upon the belief that many people in the UK are forced to make a compromise when they visit hearing aid providers in the hearing care sector. That compromise could be a long waiting list or experiencing a service from a provider who does not value hearing care as its core business.

We believe in providing affordable excellence to everyone, by delivering consistent, high quality hearing healthcare without the need to wait. We work hard to protect the vision, values and the long-term futures of independent, often family-owned businesses that can find it difficult to compete and grow in the shadow of the larger hearing care providers.

Many independent businesses are unsure of how or when to begin planning their exit - TAC Holding can now offer them a solution. That is why so many businesses have already joined the TAC family.

Please contact us if you would like to talk in confidence about the next stage of your journey.
