Pinder & Moore Opticians in Kingswinford is now under the direction of optometrist Nilesh Patel, who took over from Amit Sharma and Mark Tuffin.

The outgoing directors led the practice for more than four and 25 years, respectively, and worked closely with Patel over the past few years.

‘Nilesh has brought a wealth of knowledge to the team and I’m really looking forward to seeing the practice thrive under his leadership,’ Tuffin told Stourbridge News.

Tuffin will remain at the practice as a dispensing optician for two days a week to ensure a smooth transition for patients while Sharma will leave the practice.

Patel said his priority was to continue delivering the high standard of care and clinical excellence that Pinder & Moore already provided while exploring ways to elevate the practice.
