Popular Derbyshire optician celebrates 25 years with family owned business

Dianne Kerrison was congratulated by colleagues at its High Street Alfreton branch and presented with a garden centre voucher and flowers in recognition of her long service.

Dianne said: “It is a rewarding job and I love seeing the difference contact lenses make to people who want an alternative to glasses. The ‘wow’ reaction you get from children and their delight is a particular highlight.

“I enjoy going to the different branches and working with and meeting different people.”

Dianne likes to spend time outdoors and plans to use the voucher for a bench or a fountain to relax by.

Area manager Helen Bamforth said: “Dianne is a loyal and hardworking professional who is popular with our customers and a great member of staff. We’re delighted to recognise her achievement and congratulate her on 25 years service.”
