With a clinical start to my career I was quickly lured by the energy of retail optics. I have spent 29 years of my career now with Specsavers building and developing teams across different departments and stores. Now leading two successful businesses I feel privileged to be in a position to provide a platform for individuals in my teams to grow and reach their full potential.
