Cantor & Nissel reaches its diamond jubilee

‘Are you going to call the article: Cantor the first 60 years?’ jokes David Cantor, chairman of the Brackley-based contact lens maker. He quickly points out he is 81 years old with characteristic humour that belies a steely business resolve. 

The joke underlines the fact that while his name is over the door there is much more to Cantor Barnard than one man, as the 52-strong team and the long list of specialities and skills testifies. There is also much more to Cantor Barnard’s contact lens capabilities than its high profile work in films and TV.
