Industry veteran takes top award

Pat Bulger has received the Sasha Georgevic Award by Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care at a managers’ conference attended by more than 220 delegates.

The strategy director, who has worked at Scrivens for 21 years, was honoured with the company’s top accolade for his life-long dedication.

After starting his career in optics in 1962 as a trainee dispensing optician, Bulger spent many years in practice before joining Scrivens’ management team in 1998 as operations director.

Bulger said: ‘I am honoured to receive such a special award. I have consistently worked with great, passionate and dedicated people and seen the company grow over the years to become a truly national one, while retaining its unique family feel and roots in the Midlands.’
