Colleagues from a Warwick opticians have enjoyed a special week celebrating the first birthday of their town centre store.

Staff at Specsavers in Market Place marked the anniversary with balloons and a celebration cake, and handed out goodies including tote bags and specs cleaning kits with every collection made by customers.

The store has been a huge success since it opened last year and colleagues wanted to honour the milestone in a special way. This included offering several free eye tests to members of the public during a special leaflet handout.

Run and part-owned by local residents Lena and Navin Aggarwal, who have nearly 30 years' optical experience between them, they were joined at the helm by co-director, Sajad Ali and store manager, Pamela De Jesus.

Lena says: "It was a great opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support. It's also been a chance to come together and celebrate the tremendous work our team does.

"We really appreciate being part of the community here and can't believe a year has passed since we launched. The first 12 months have passed very quickly and we are so grateful to everyone for making us so welcome."

The store has two test rooms over one floor, along with a dedicated contact lens area, audiology room and all the latest high-tech equipment including an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine, which takes detailed scans of the back of the eye and helps detect eye conditions up to four years earlier than traditional methods.
