Opticians Awards 2017!

Exciting News! We have again been shortlisted as National Finalists in The Optician Awards in two categories:

  • The Independent Practice of the Year
  • The Fashion Practice of the Year

We previously held Independent Practice of the Year in 2010 and 2012 so are really pleased to again be recognised. Fashion Practice is normally the domain of London based outlets, so pleased to be putting Whitley Bay on the Map! The Winners are to be announced at a Gala Dinner at the NEC Hilton. Win or lose, we aim to enjoy the evening!

Thanks to you all, our loyal customers, without whom this would not be possible.

National Opticians Awards 2014 – Runners up!

We would like to thank everyone for their Good Luck messages sent before the National Optician Awards.

This was not to be our year but we were still delighted to be runners up in both The Independent Practice and Technology Practice, in the splendour of London Park Lane Hilton.

It was an amazing night to share with some of our Team; a true privilege to be there! Most important of all was the fantastic fund raising carried out in aid of “The Blind Veterans”, a truly worthy cause. The awards were presented by TV personality impressionist Jon Culshaw whose hilarious rendition made it seem as though the awards were being presented by a host of personalities!

Congratulations to all the award winners, especially to our friends from Eyeworks London who took the New Venture Award. Really well done!
Thanks again to all our loyal patients and staff

NATIONAL OPTICIAN AWARDS 2014

A massive big thank you to all our loyal patients whose constant support and recommendations have seen us again nominated for the National Optician Awards. We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to our wonderful staff for their constant enthusiasm and professionalism.

It would be a tall order to win a third award, but even being shortlisted is a wonderful feeling. Six of the team make the journey to Park Lane Hilton on April 12th and win or lose we aim to enjoy it! We will keep you posted.
