Independent opticians merge in Leigh

Gill Opticians and Bridgford Opticians have merged their practices and will now operate from the premises of Gill Opticians on Ellesmere Street in Leigh.

The merger aimed to provide Bridgford’s patients with seamless continuity of care, now with the added benefits of a more extensive eyewear selection and state-of-the-art equipment, all within close proximity to the original practice.

David Hindley, director at Gill Opticians, said: ‘All of the team were really excited for this merger. It’s a fantastic opportunity to combine two practices who really value offering a personalised service.’

Gordon Carlton, owner and optometrist at Bridgford Opticians, commented: ‘Merging with Gill Opticians will ensure our patients continue to receive an excellent level of eye care, with the added benefits of some fantastic facilities.’
