ABDO campaign rewarded

The Association of British Dispensing Opticians’ (ABDO) Careers in Eyecare campaign has been rewarded for the second year running.

The organisation’s campaign, which focused on highlighting opportunities in the optical sector to young people, won the Creating Opportunity #YouthFriendly Employer Award. ABDO’s award was presented by MP Mims Davies at an online ceremony on December 7.

ABDO head of communications, Antonia Chitty said: ‘We are thrilled to receive this award. We couldn’t have done it without the widest support from across the eyecare community. Our ambition is that every young person is aware of the range of careers in eye care.’
