I have not been anywhere else since going here. The whole team are so friendly and their customer service is fantastic. All the products they sell are of such high quality, I honestly would not go anywhere else. Excellent coffee too.

Philip Potter
Philip Potter, dispensing optician, qualified in 1996 from Bradford college and started the practice in 1997. “I enjoy dealing with the best products in the world because, once you know how good things can be, it becomes very hard to compromise. I am very passionate about the quality and design of good glasses. I have travelled to all the major trade fairs around Europe to look for new innovative products, and sometimes do get a bit disheartened by the growth of huge corporations where passion is replaced by the bottom line, with less consideration for the end user. Married with three daughters, I enjoy walking and a good country Pub!”.
