So far 2018 is proving to be a fantastic year. Although we didn’t come back winners from the AOP awards we had a fantastic time and were up against some tough competition.

However, we have come back fighting and have been nominated for another prestigious award! Our second award nomination is for ‘Independent Practice of The Year’, at the Optician Awards being held in Birmingham in April. We were last nominated for this award 10 years ago!

Out of all the many applicants this year, we are one of six practices across the UK to be shortlisted in this category, which is a very big honour. The ‘Independent Practice of The Year’ category recognises the quality of care provided by the practice along with its clinical excellence. The practice is also judged on its links and profile within the local community.

We are thrilled to have been nominated for this second award, and recognised for the hard work we do, not only in the optical sector but also within our local community. There is no voting included this time, so it is down to the judges to select the worthy winner. Once again we will be donning our posh frocks and attending the awards ceremony on the 14th April at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham. We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed, but whatever the outcome may be we are thrilled to have been nominated.

Wish us luck!
