Renee Bansal to lead new Leightons practice in Reading

Renee Bansal has taken on a second Leightons franchise as part of a £250,000 investment in a new opticians and hearing care practice in Reading’s Queen Victoria Street.

Both Bansal, who runs the Putney practice, and Leightons have a long association with the town, a company statement said. The opening marks 50 years in Reading for Leightons while Bansal, who has lived in the town for 20 years and started his professional career there in a Leightons practice 20 years ago.

The extensive refurbishment includes dedicated audiology and optical suites with latest equipment. Leightons formerly had a presence in the area from its former home in Oxford Street, Reading.
