In focus: Eyespace marks 10 year milestone

^{Eyespace staff have been celebrating 10 years in the business with a series of charity events}

Eyespace celebrated its 10th anniversary by supporting its local community through charitable initiatives instead of simply taking a company-centric approach. Jayne Abel, CEO of the British eyewear brand, told Optician it was important to celebrate the staff and company culture that meant so much to her and her sister, and co-founder, Julie.

‘The Eyespace team were encouraged to give back to the community by participating in a variety of sporting events, including a charity bike ride and 10km row.

‘The business and our staff also made significant charitable donations to organisations such as the Trussell Trust, the British Heart Foundation and Worcestershire Animal Rescue centre (pictured), while carrying out random acts of kindness and community service initiatives, such as litter picking and gardening in the local hospice,’ Abel said.
