Specsavers Acomb has made Alex Brightwell partner, and Lucy King has also qualified to practice manager.

Alex has been in the optical industry for over 15 years and joined the Acomb store in 2012 when it first opened its doors.

She said: “I’m beyond excited to this step up on leadership, a milestone which I set my sights on a few years ago. I’m thankful to Specsavers for providing myself and others with the training and resources necessary to allow us to pursue the careers we want.”

"One of the reasons I strived to become a partner was to foster a positive, collaborative workplace environment where every employee’s voice is valued, and where our customers remain at the heart of everything we do. I truly couldn’t imagine working anywhere else and look forward to what the future brings.”
