Beverley Optometrists in Prestigious Awards Double
Thu 6th August 2015
Beverley optometrists Andrew and Rogers are in the frame for two prestigious awards.
Trading in the town for almost 20 years, the firm is hoping to do the double in the Association of Optometrists countrywide contest.
In a first for the company, Andrew and Rogers is competing in the Practice Of The Year category and has a member of staff named in the final three of the Optical Assistant Of The Year award.
The short-listing is a reflection of the independent’s continued success, said business partners Roger Smyth and Andrew Scott.
“For prescription eyewear, we have both highly experienced and caring dispensers with the very latest in optical technology,” they said.
“We examine everything from the shape of the face to the position of the eyes and inclination of the head to the position of the glasses on the nose to ensure our clients get exactly what they need.
“And if contact lenses are preferred, we can supply the right pair, whether that’s daily disposable options or reusable lenses.”
A coveted range of designer sunglasses is also available, including brands such as Oakley, Calvin Klein and Ray-Ban which not only look good but protect the sight too.
Andrew and Rogers’s luxurious premises are a well-known fixture in North Bar Within, part of Beverley’s Georgian quarter.
The business carried out a complete renovation of the historic building on relocating there from elsewhere in the town in 2013, helping to maintain it for the community.
And with countless loyal clients, Andrew and Rogers is now encouraging people to vote in the awards online to help bring them back to Beverley.
Chair of the judging panel, optometrist David Shannon, said: “Preparing a shortlist for these awards is difficult as the competition is high.
“As a judge, I never cease to be amazed by the extraordinary quality of most of the entrants.”
Voting closes at midnight on September 20. The winners will be revealed at a special black tie gala dinner and ceremony during the National Optical Conference on November 5.
