Scrivens appoints Willis as MD

Scrivens Group has appointed former Specsavers Hearcare marketing director Keith Willis as managing director.

The company said the move consolidated its strategy of continued growth, with current managing director Nicholas Georgevic becoming chief executive and continuing in his role as chairman.

Willis has worked in senior roles in both the optical and hearing care businesses of Specsavers over the past 12 years.

Georgevic said: 'I am delighted that Keith will be joining Scrivens and our board of directors. His considerable experience, knowledge and outstanding track record in optics and hearing will prove invaluable as we continue to develop the business.'

He added that the appointment followed an exciting period for the company, with acquisitions boosting the nationwide network to more than 150 branches.
