In March, we had the pleasure of attending one of our favourite events, 100% Optical, the UK’s leading optical trade show. You can learn more about 100% Optical here. While we were there, we discovered a stunning eyewear brand from Copenhagen called Ørgreen Optics. Known for their premium quality and minimalist Scandi design, we fell in love with the collection the moment we saw it. We’re delighted to announce that Ørgreen eyewear has now arrived in-store.
In a previous blog, we introduced you to our wonderful optometrist, Tim. This time, we want to shine a spotlight on our dispensing extraordinaire, Chris, who joined the team in August 2021. Like Tim – whose blog you can read here – Chris is a valued and dedicated member of Respectacle Company.
100% Optical is the UK’s largest optical event, held annually in London. A melting pot of all things optical, the event attracts over 10,000 industry professionals keen to check out the latest innovations within the optical industry.
The event features eyewear brands showcasing their latest releases and demonstrations from leading lens manufacturers like Seiko. Optical professionals can also take part in workshops and seminars throughout the weekend. It’s a great opportunity for people in optics to learn more about eye health and gain valuable insights into business growth strategies.
The highlight for Respectacle Company was the Love Eyewear Awards, held on Saturday evening during the after-show party. These prestigious awards celebrate the dedication and creativity of the optical industry by recognising outstanding achievements in eyewear design and retail innovation.
Last November, we were thrilled to learn that we had been shortlisted for a national SightCare Award. In recognition of Team Respectacle’s hard work and dedication to eyewear and eye care, we were nominated in the category of ‘Frame Styling Practice of the Year’. While we were excited to be considered for such a prestigious accolade, we certainly didn’t expect to win!
