Evolving premium eye care

Mike Hale: How did you first come to work in optics?

Jill Mclellan: Following a hugely valuable stint in premium retail, I entered into the world of optics via a lucky introduction to Roger Pope and the late Peter Wood. I was immediately immersed into the industry, where my passions and career have been rooted ever since. It’s sometimes hard to believe that was almost 25 years ago now!

MH: What has been your career pathway since joining Nikon in 2004?

JM: My welcome into the Nikon family was as an account manager for the London area. At the time it was the leading territory for Nikon and I remember being wholly captivated by how forward-thinking the opticians were – they were willing to try new things and were creating innovative best practices in optical retail.
