ABDO’s head of communications steps down

The Association of British Dispensing (ABDO) has announced the departure of head of communications and IT, Antonia Chitty.  

Chitty held the role for six years and for nine years prior in a freelance capacity, leading the association's engagement with members on important optical issues such as sustainability.   

ABDO CEO Alistair Bridge commented: 'I am sorry that Antonia has decided to step down. She has made a substantial contribution to both ABDO and ABDO College. 

'Antonia has really enhanced our communication and engagement with members, and with stakeholders more generally. She has also led ABDO’s work on sustainability and in the process, highlighted the importance of this issue across the optical sector. I would like to thank Antonia for all her hard work and commitment and wish her all the best for the future.'
