We now also provide Hearing Care!

We had a brilliant time at Dalbeattie High School ‘s Careers Day today talking to the kids about the different career paths available in optics.

The kids had plenty of activities to try out and they were all fantastic at getting involved and asking questions! We hope we have inspired some of them to look into a career that they might not have considered before.

Thanks so much to the high school for inviting us along 🤓
