Chris Bennett: Chart your course to Optician Award stardom

There can be few more evocative sets of numbers in optics than 2020, so next year provides an ideal unique opportunity to put the profession centre stage.

Optician will be covering the many 2020 events already being trailed and uppermost among those has to be Optrafair 20/20 and the packed weekend that comes with it.

The highlight of the weekend for many will be the Saturday evening presentation of the Optician Awards, and the journey to Optician Awards stardom starts now.

This week sees the opening of entries at www.opticianawards.co.uk, so make sure you pay the website a visit to see which categories suit you. We have trophies for people, practices and products so there is something for everyone to aim at.
