UK presence at Mido

Among those present at Mido from the UK optical industry were Dunelm, Continental Eyewear, Brulimar and Inspecs.

Frame company Dunelm showcased its products on an all-new open style stand featuring large images and fewer frame displays.

'We carried out a survey over the past two years which showed that displaying a lot of frames can be too much for the customer,' said Dunelm sales manager Remy Oudes. 'Our new stand is open, welcoming and user-friendly.'

Continental Eyewear sales and marketing director Neal Grimason also commended the exhibition and said: 'We are having an exceptional show with great passing traffic by our stand. Early on we opened several new accounts and we are delighted.'
