Specsavers has always been about two things coming together to do more good than they could on their own, not unlike a pair of glasses. From its founding by two optometrists 40 years ago, Specsavers has always grown stronger through the support of partnership, which is why eyecare professionals who’ve experienced Specsavers within their career journey are excited to see that the company has made its way to Canada.
At Specsavers, our opticians and eyecare consultants are definitely people people. Hear from two of our Retail Partners, Kyla Campbell and Lorenzo Martinelli, on what it’s like working at Specsavers as an optician.
To celebrate our first year, we’ll be featuring stories from our very own Specsavers partners across Canada. Starting off this series is Dr. Ian Scholfield, optometry partner, and Seija Gilks, retail partner, who opened up Specsavers’ first location in Canada.
After moving back to Canada, Kristal worked for an independent optometry clinic for 11 years. When she saw that Specsavers had crossed the Atlantic, she jumped on board to be part of the first Specsavers retail team. She was thrilled to help launch the brand that made her fall in love with optics.
As an optometrist and optician-led business, we are proud of Specsavers’ uncompromising pursuit of professional and clinical excellence. Our ability to deliver outstanding care to so many people in so many locations around the world stems from our roots in local community eye care as well as in our commitment to ongoing multi-million-dollar investments in professional training, development, and the most advanced clinical equipment.
