Respectacle Company Optometrist celebrates 40 years in the optical industry

We’re only three months into 2024, and it has already been a significant year for Respectacle Company. As of January, the optical has been open for eight years. This year also marks the considerable milestone of 40 years in the optical industry for our Optometrist, Mr Tim Hanby.

Tim qualified in February 1984 and has been providing optical services to the good people of Market Harborough ever since. He started his Optometry career with the Co-op Opticians in the High Street in Market Harborough before moving to the newly built units on Manor Walk.

He continued as T J Hanby Opticians until we joined forces eight years ago, in January 2016.

As one of our closest neighbouring businesses, we wanted to highlight some of the services offered by You Beauty, which is ideal for spectacle wearers. We think it’s something our patients may be keen to learn about and possibly explore in the future.
