Brothers David and Allan Johnson (pictured) have retired from Batemans Laboratories after long careers with the company.

Former glazing manager David began with Batemans in 1961, learning specialist glazing techniques, and is noted for helping to maintain the ISO Quality Standard awarded to Batemans Laboratories in 1985.
Former surfacing manager Allan started with the company in 1967 gaining experience in all aspects of lens surfacing.
Chairman Nicholas Bateman made a special presentation for David and Allan and said: 'Lenses that look like bottle bottoms are a thing of the past and David and Allan ensured that the latest techniques were applied to our spectacle production.'
The brothers both enjoy the outdoor life and are looking forward to spending more time on their hobbies during their retirements.
