SMC launches networking event

An iPad Mini has been presented to the winner of a prize draw by The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers (SMC) following this year's Optrafair exhibition in Birmingham.

Kevin Bowers, technician with DSM Opticians in Essex, received the tablet device during the first in a series of SMC networking events last month.

The event, held at the AOP offices in central London, began with canapés followed by a question and answer session chaired by Don Grocott.
