Optical Express Sponsors The Kirsty Clubs Angel Ball 2009

Optical Express has donated free laser eye surgery to the Kirsty Club’s annual Angel Ball, in an effort to support the Francis House Children’s Hopsice in Manchester. Held on Saturday, November 21st at the Hallmark Hotel, the event raised funds for the Hospice, a centre which provides support and care for terminally ill children and their families. The free surgery, available to be redeemed at any of Optical Express’ clinics across the UK and Europe, was raffled off among other prizes.

The star-studded event was hosted by Mike Sweeney. Other attendees included supermodel Caprice, singer Russell Watson, actor and singer Richard Fleeshman, and actors Sue Jenkins, David Fleeshman, William Roach and Denise Welch, among others.

Held annually since 2006, the Angel Ball was originally part of the campaign Kristy’s Appeal, designed to raise £5 million for the Francis House. After meeting this goal, the charity Kristy’s Club was founded, to provide continued support for the growth and ongoing running of the Hospice

Optical Express Has Launched Two Major Additions To Its Website: A Fully Comprehensive Careers Section And A New Ecommerce Site For Sunglasses

With the launch of the sunglasses site, the Optical Express website now features both sunglasses and contact lenses available for purchase online.

The revamped Optical Express careers section of the website includes descriptions of all teams under the Optical Express umbrella, from optometry, to the customer contact centre, to warehouse and distribution, to hospital services. This highlights the diversity of positions available at Optical Express, many of which are not usually associated with the business.

A number of employees from throughout Optical Express are profiled with testimonials describing their experiences with and motivations for joining the group. In addition, information about the recruitment process, training, rewards and benefits, and graduate programmes is available.

It is also possible to search and apply for jobs online, as well as simply submit a CV if there aren’t currently any relevant openings. While applications had previously been accepted in-store, applications to Optical Express, The Dental Clinic, and The Cosmetic Clinic will now only be accepted online. This will expedite and simplify the application process, as well as give applicants an opportunity to learn more about Optical Express, as well as the position that they are applying for.

The sunglasses section of the website has undergone a major overhaul as well, moving from a simple description of Optical Express’ offerings, to a full ecommerce site on which customers can purchase frames. The full range of frames offered from Optical Express will be available online, all with free shipping. This includes styles from Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Ray-Ban, YSL and Fendi.
