After a career spanning both the hotel industry and the building trade, I’m delighted to now be working alongside my wife, Claire, at CG Optical. Following an intensive training programme with Jo and Emily, I now support the practice on reception, often covering Jo’s many holidays, and manage the day-to-day accounts. It’s a pleasure to work among such friendly faces, both staff and patients, and to be part of a team that is truly passionate about what they do.
I am very happy to be joining the CG team. With over 15 years’ experience as a qualified Optometrist and two degrees in the field, I bring both expertise and genuine care to every patient I see. Recently accredited with the Dry Eye Accreditation from Moorfields Eye Hospital, I am excited to be leading the Dry Eye Suite at CG. Using advanced technology, I will offer an in-depth consultation and create a tailored, personalised treatment plan to help each patient find lasting relief and comfort. I believe that everyone deserves to have healthy, comfortable eyes and I am here to make that happen with kindness, understanding, and the touch of professionalism you can trust.
I work in partnership with CG Optical providing a comprehensive hearing assessment every Wednesday. I have a wealth of experience within Audiology having completed a Masters in Audiology and worked within this field for over 10 years. I specialise in Adult Audiology, hearing aids and tinnitus. I get the greatest enjoyment from helping people enhance their hearing as well as their quality of life.
I work at CG Optical on Mondays and have done so for 14 years since it was Harrisons. I qualified 28 years ago. I love working at CG Optical as they have the latest technology and allow the time for me to give patients the very best service. I particularly enjoy contact lenses and catching up with the rest of the team!
I have been a qualified Optometrist for nearly 7 years. CG Optical has some of the best eye imaging technology and allows plenty of time for each appointment so I really enjoy being able to give the patients the highest quality of care. Also, due to being the only male in the practice – I usually get roped into Becky’s social media posts!
I work in the practice part-time. I have over 25 years of experience in Optometry and recently completed the College of Optometrists Diploma in Ocular Therapeutics: Independent Prescribing. This allows me to prescribe various medications in the form of drops, creams and/or tablets for the treatment of many common eye conditions just like your GP. I really enjoy being part of the team as it is a very relaxed and friendly environment.
I have worked at CG Optical since 2021. I’m usually the first person you speak to, either on the phone or when you pop into the practice. I love welcoming all our patients – old and new and ensuring your requirements are always met. I also love helping with our social media videos for you to watch!
Advanced Aesthetics Practitioner
I manage the Aesthetics Clinic. I work alongside my mum ‘Claire’ who has taught me everything I know about optics! I love being part of our family business, we all get on really well and work great as a team offering 5-star customer service. I am a qualified Advance Aesthetics Practitioner and particularly enjoy posting videos on social media to keep you updated on our news.
I have worked in optics for nearly 20 years and feel as passionately about my work today as I did 20 years ago! I come from an independent, luxury eyewear background and adore frame styling and offering the latest bespoke optical lenses. I am extremely excited to be a part of a high calibre, truly independent opticians and being part of a team that offers an outstanding 5 star customer experience
Having worked in the industry for over 30 years, I wanted to set up my own practice. I wanted to create a fun, relaxed and highly professional customer centric experience. I have carefully hand-picked my team to ensure you get five-star treatment from the moment you step through the door. I am keen to always continue learning and investing in the best technology and customer experience.
