Norville operations director John Lane retires

Norville Group operations director John Lane has retired this month after 49 years with the lens company.

He thanked past and present colleagues and praised the FMO for ‘pushing the boundaries’ especially in the running of Optrafair.

Lane said: ‘Although I can’t believe how quickly it’s come around, I retired from Norville after 49 years, this March. I want to say goodbye to all my many friends and contacts within optics. It’s going to be very strange after such a long time in such a fast moving business, working over the years with many kind and interesting individuals in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as Germany, France and The Netherlands specifically too.’
