Optician Awards: Family Optician of the Year

Family Optician of the Year is an increasingly sought-after title for Optician Awards entrants and this year the trophy travelled back to Northern Ireland with Curtis Opticians

Curtis Opticians wrote the kind of Optician Awards entry the judges love to read. It hit every element of the criteria laid out in the entry process and some. The Londonderry practice has catered to the optical needs of the local population for six generations, its patients range in age from 18 weeks to 103 years.

The business was started in 1928 by jeweller HP Curtis and was carried on by his three sons, Harold, Noel and Derek. The third generation sons of Derek, optometrist Paul and DO Ian, carry on the family tradition along with their current team of 18.
