Specsavers lab gives royal tour

Specsavers’ lens manufacturing site, Vision Labs, gave a tour to Princess Anne, who commemorated the occasion with a plaque.

Princess Anne spoke to employees at the facility, alongside other attendees, including Dame Mary Perkins; Wyre Forest MP, Mark Garnier; the Mayor of Kidderminster, councillor Kevin Gale; the High Sheriff of Worcestershire, Andrew Manning-Cox; and members of the county and district councils and Chamber of Commerce.

Vision Labs general manager Lee Timbrell said it was a huge honour to welcome The Princess Royal and to show her round the premises: ‘We are extremely proud of what we’ve achieved here, especially after the challenges we faced due to the pandemic, when we were forced to close for a short period of time.
