Prizes for Paisley duo keeping upbeat vibe

Specsavers has commended 21 of its practitioners for displaying exceptional customer service skills – including two from the same practice.

Among those commended in round four of its Customer First awards was Ross Kirk, pictured, optometrist at Specsavers Paisley. Kirk’s colleague, dispensing assistant Martin Melrose, also received a commendation.

Paisley store director Gail Thompson said: ‘We’d just received the Platinum Employer accreditation when we got these two commendations, which was lovely. It’s a testament to the whole team really. We have 35 team members including 11 opticians and a pre-registration optometrist, and from the students through to the professionals, they’re all brilliant. I honestly couldn’t be prouder of them.’
