After a two-year absence, trade shows are slowly tiptoeing back to life. And we couldn’t be more excited. SILMO Paris – the largest of the European trade shows – made a welcome comeback at the end of September. Businesses and brands from the optical industry headed to the exhibition centre, Paris Nord, on the outskirts of Paris. And we were one of many who made the journey to France to check out what was new in the eyewear industry.
Last month, the Respectacle team headed off to the Cotswolds to embark on some staff training and team building. After the last couple of years of being restricted with what we could and couldn’t do, we thought it would be a good idea to do some training away from the shop. With the addition of some new people joining the team, it felt like the best way to get to know each other better in a relaxed and informal environment. As they say, a change is as good as a rest!

We’ve packed away the last of the Christmas decorations, drank the last of the fizz from new year, and made – and broken – all of our resolutions. To offset the January Blues, we’re counting down the days until Spring arrives, bringing with it lighter nights, some much needed warmer weather (hopefully!) whilst planning our summer holiday getaway.
Speaking of getaways, we know a lot of you are heading off to the slopes soon, for some clean fresh air, beautiful scenery and lots of fresh powder snow. Although looking at some of the conditions throughout Europe at the moment, it may not be quite the holiday you were expecting!
A lot of our friends and customers are keen skiers, and here at Respectacle Company we get asked a lot of questions about the best eyewear protection for when you hit the slopes. With weather conditions changing continuously, it’s important to have the best protection possible, both to protect your eyes and improve your skiing.
