Mr Harwood said: ‘We’ve been going to the opticians even before Scrivens took it over. We have always been satisfied with the service.’
Scrivens has relocated to The Boulevard from Wellington Way because it is due for redevelopment. The branch features the latest digital eye examination equipment and a new and updated range of frames, including the latest designer names.
Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care is a family run business which was established in 1938. It has 182 stores in England and Wales, with 1,000 employees.
