Becci Zawadzki, an optometrist partner at independent practice Norville Opticians, part of the Hakim Group, has been appointed chair of the Gloucester Business Improvement District (BID).
Zawadzki, pictured, assisted her father working for a local optical chain before acquiring Norville Opticians, alongside her husband and three other practice owners, helping to modernise the business while maintaining its heritage.
‘I’m looking forward to bringing a fresh perspective and ideas to the BID, engaging more closely with businesses, and ensuring they receive value for their contributions. Gloucester has a fantastic mix of independent and branded shops.
‘We need to celebrate our city and promote it as a safe, attractive, and thriving destination,’ she said.
