She adds: ‘The Optician Awards are one of the most prestigious awards in the industry so I was very sad to have missed out on the event due to a prearranged business trip to Chicago.’
Having qualified as an optometrist six years ago, Czerwinski took a role as a trainee CL optician at the large Specsavers store. She is now responsible for the development of CL engagement with the branch’s 13 optometrists and around 90 optical assistants.
