Branches around the country spread some seasonal cheer by celebrating special customers in our festive surprise campaign.
Staff were asked to nominate people who they felt deserved a treat so we could present them with festive goodies. The reasons for nominations varied and showed that community spirit, kindness and good humour in the face of challenges remains strong in the areas we serve.
Congratulations to all the regional winners in our Branch of the Year Awards.
A grandmother from Leeds believes an eye test at her local opticians saved her life as it helped to reveal her cancer had spread.
Emily Barrass, aged 50, praised the care of quick-thinking optometrist Andy Winnard at Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care as he carried out the eye test, realised something was seriously wrong and acted promptly.
Scrivens is looking to open more people’s eyes to the benefits of contact lenses which are lighter, more comfortable and offer greater clarity than ever before thanks to advances in technology.
Well done to the creative children whose colourful entries in our national ‘design a book cover’ competition caught the judges’ eyes.
