Development is very much at the heart of the store, with 1 of their resident Optometrists currently being supported through the Specsavers pathway development programme, another undertaking the Independent Prescribing course and 3 TDO's on the shopfloor.

Community is also key and the Beccles team play an active role, regularly fundraising for donations towards their chosen charity - a local donkey sanctuary!
