Rodenstock takes training lead

Rodenstock UK has appointed two dispensing opticians as lens training consultants. Gina Nikolov will be responsible for the southern and Abigail Preston for the northern regions of the UK.

Rodenstock said both women had extensive practice experience and were dedicated to training practitioners in the benefits of Rodentock's premium lens portfolio. Occupational lenses and free-form technology from Rodenstock were particularly sought by independents keen to differentiate themselves, said the firm.

'Everyone wants Impression FreeSign training - I cannot get around fast enough, said Nikolov, who also holds the SMC Tech (Level 4) qualification.

Nikolov had her own practice in central London for several years and provides training in lens technology for individuals or groups.
