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. You may or may not remember, but after a few years, the Co-op pulled out of the optical business. So, Tim took over the complete operation. He continued as T J Hanby Opticians until we joined forces eight years ago, in January 2016.

Should your primary pair of spectacles go missing, get damaged or even break, not being able to wear your glasses will quickly become a big issue. After all, some of us need our specs to drive a car. Just think how lost you would be without your glasses?!
