I recently had the pleasure to be invited to the ‘Independent Thinking’ CPD event, which was organised by Eluned (Lil) Creighton-Sims, UK manager for IOT Lenses, and Julian Wiles, founder and owner of Performance Lenses, UK and Ireland manager for Younger Optics. These two suppliers brought four independent labs together in front of specially invited guests for a unique CPD event.

Industry experts Shaun Base, commercial director at Norville; Chris Smith, managing director of Waterside Laboratories; Rayna Greenfield, sales manager at Optimum; and Paul Davies, regional sales manager of Caledonian Optical, provided a wealth of knowledge and experience to the day.
