Specsavers has invested more than £ 65,000 in a new optical laboratory at Middleton Shopping Center.
The investment was made ‘to better meet demand’ from Specsavers’ two stores in Middleton and Heaton Park.
With two advanced glass machines, the new laboratory has already created opportunities for retailer Katherine Heaton and the new recruit, Katarzyna Czerwinska, to undergo technical training.

Kimberley Etchells, Retail Director at Specsavers said: “Specsavers is committed to providing first-class optical and audiological care and we are pleased to see not only the new laboratory but also the development of our team dedicated to ensuring that our customers are getting the best possible service.
“To ensure continued excellent customer service, we will conduct additional in-house management and leadership training later in the year.”
