Optical team celebrate colleague's long service milestone
THE team at Specsavers Belper are raising their glasses to celebrate a colleague who has reached 25 years of service.
Annette Wale, who has been part of the team for the last 17 years began her career at Specsavers Coalville in 1997 and has worked her way up to a career in management. She now combines her position as store manager alongside her role as a dispensing optician at Specsavers Belper.
‘In some ways I can’t believe I’ve been at Specsavers for 25 years, and in others, it feels like yesterday – it has really flown,’ says Annette. ‘I’ve been lucky enough to work with some fantastic people in that time and experienced so many great things including the relocation of the Belper store to our new home on King Street last year.
‘The team, our customers and the local community make working here so special, and I’m extremely lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings – if it’s as enjoyable as the past quarter-century I’m ready to embrace it with open arms!’
Andy McBride, optometrist at Specsavers Belper, says, ‘We are delighted to be able to celebrate Annette, honour this significant milestone and say a huge thank you for all she does for our customers, our people and our business. She is a real asset, an incredible manager and is loved by all. Her commitment and hard work has contributed so much over the years. We are very lucky to have her as an integral part of our 26-strong team.
‘Our team is growing too. We are always interested in talking to focused, career driven individuals to join us. No optical skills necessary but an appetite to learn is essential.’
