FMO pledges cheque to education fund

A £5,000 donation was made by the FMO to The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers' (WCSM) fund for education this week. FMO chairman John Conway (right) said the donation reinforced close co-operation between the manufacturing body and The WCSM.

'Any industry must invest not just in technology but also in staff training - optics is no different,' he said. 'For the industry and profession to move forward we must all aim to provide the very best products, services, education and training. We are delighted to provide this support from the proceeds of our show, Optrafair.' Conway is pictured presenting the cheque to Gordon Jones, master of The WCSM, and Debbie Gigg, WCSM training manager.
