Specsavers on Greenwood Square has been honouring Julie Robinson, dispensing manager, who has shown years of dedication to the store.
Starting her journey at Specsavers Plymouth in 2000, Julie completed various qualifications to become dispensing manager in 2004. Five years later, Julie transferred to Specsavers Chelmsley Wood, where she has continued to support the team and offer her expert knowledge to the local community for two decades.
‘It feels like only yesterday I joined the team at Specsavers Chelmsley Wood,’ Julie comments. ‘We’re all supportive of one another and it makes the store such a great place to work. We have fantastic career progression opportunities here, and I’m proud to come into work and help our customers every day.’
To the mark the occasion, the team celebrated with party food and balloons in-store, gifting Julie with flowers, and a £250 voucher towards a summer holiday.
Sukhwant Drake, store director at Specsavers Chelmsley Wood, says: ‘Julie is a real asset to the team. Celebrating 25 years is a huge achievement and she is an integral part of the team.
‘We had a brilliant time celebrating the milestone, reminiscing on years gone by and wondering what the future might hold!’
But the celebrations don't stop there, as the team has several long-serving members, including Faye Luby who is marking 11 years of service in-store. Faye started as an optical assistant, before working her way up to supervisor. Abbie Topham started at the store as a trainee lab technician. Now lab manager, she’s marking six years of service, while Amy Roberts, supervisor, is celebrating 15 years in-store.
