Bryony Pawinska retires from FMO role

FMO chief executive Bryony Pawinska has announced she will retire at the end of May after two years in the role.

She joined FMO in January 2016, to work part-time as CEO following her retirement from full time employment as chief executive of the College of Optometrists.

‘It has been an interesting period of semi-retirement – I have worked with some wonderful people and learned a great deal about the “other side” of a sector I have come to love over the years. I wish FMO every success as it continues to develop as a modern trade body,’ Pawinska said.

FMO chair Andy Yorke said: ‘We will be very sorry to see Bryony go although we understand her desire to retire after a long and successful career.
