Optician Fashion Practice of the Year

Dorset may have suddenly become trendy again since the second series of Broadchurch aired, but Tempany’s Boutique Opticians and Contact Lens Specialists in the picturesque town of Broadstone near Poole is a game changer for the optics industry since winning the coveted ‘Fashion Practice of the Year’.

Practice owner Keith Tempany spied a gap in the market when he noticed all other practices in the area did little to be different from each other and no one had yet promoted themselves as a fashion practice.

‘We had the idea about four years ago and had been searching for the right premises to become available,’ Tempany says. ‘We found an old hairdressing salon with a downstairs area of 75 square metres. We designed the whole practice ourselves and sourced the fixtures and the right workmen to carry the project through.’
