40 million people wear spectacles in the UK alone, but the optical industry hasn’t changed in more than three centuries. Products are tired, standards are poor, and glasses wearers have got used to sub-standard experiences.

The most important characteristic for anyone joining us is an alignment to our core values.

And you will do all of this without ego, staying humble, accessible and empathetic (For All). Equally important is building an equitable and diverse workforce with the goal of building an inclusive culture with opportunities for all.
