About Us

I have been the principal optometrist for over 19 years now, so a lot of my clients have become more like friends.

I like spending the time to be thorough in my eye examinations so that I can make recommendations with confidence in the knowledge that I have really understood my client’s needs.

Being a spectacle wearer myself over many years means I have a full understanding of what it’s like to undergo an eye examination. My clients tell me that they enjoy coming to see me. That’s very gratifying.

I have been a dispensing optician for over 29 years and have managed the Hartlepool practice for 17 years. I also studied to gain a contact lens fitting qualification too.

I love choosing spectacle frames and I am entirely responsible for all the frames in the practice. More than that, I love to help our clients choose frames that make them look great and feel confident in their appearance, and help them see well through their bespoke lenses.

I think that our clients know that my advice is enthusiastic, honest and always in their best interests.

It’s a great place to work, which is why I’ve been here for over 17 years and I know my colleagues feel the same. I have an optical assistant diploma from Anglia Ruskin University. 

My own spectacles are fantastic because I love how they look. They allow me to see properly at all distances and they keep tired eyes at bay, which is a benefit of spectacles that not everyone is aware of.

I have been a part of the team for over 25 years and I am the longest serving member of the team here in Hartlepool.  I have an optical assistant diploma from Anglia Ruskin University. 

I am regularly asked optical questions by our clients when out and about in town.  It’s a real pleasure to continue to meet such nice people through my work and I have now provided eyecare advice for several generations of local families.  I really feel part of it here.

I have been with the team for over 14 years now.  I have an optical assistant diploma from Anglia Ruskin University.  I previously worked at another opticians and wanted a change. I noticed straight away the family atmosphere in the branch and the commitment to constantly improving our customer service which continues to this day. 

The level of training I have received is of a far higher standard than in my previous Opticians job.  I really enjoy being part of a company that gets to know their clients so well and is so good at fulfilling their optical requirements in a really friendly and comfortable environment.
