Obituary: Peter Wood

Optician is sad to report that Peter Wood, founder and managing director of Caseco, sadly passed away at the age of 75 on February 3, 2021.

Wood, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April, 2020, built Caseco over 30 years to become a major supplier of cases and accessories in the optical industry.

Julian Clarke, managing director of Caseco, said: ‘Peter was one of the original good guys and respected as a gentleman leading a fantastic team. He was very faithful to his customers and suppliers. He came across as being very measured but he had huge energy for work. As a team we have had nine months to prepare and will be carrying on with Peter’s great legacy.’
