Meet Your Eyecare Team in Ellesmere Port

With experience at Specsavers and Frederick Howard Opticians, I thrive at an independent practice where I can spend quality time with my patients.

Side note -- I'm known for having a knack of finding a frame you'll love at the first try! If you think that's impossible, come and test me out! 

My mission is to make choosing glasses enjoyable and ensure you leave with frames you love.

Outside of work, I'm married to Paul and have two grown-up boys. I enjoy shopping for my grandkids and love walking and running to balance out dining out with Paul when we're not babysitting.

I love supporting my team with ongoing training and development.

Previously, I worked at Skilbeck & Jones Opticians, which merged with Orrell Opticians in 2018. It's wonderful to see familiar faces still coming to see us.

My personal and caring approach helps me build great relationships with patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy travel, working out, and visiting art galleries.

I'm happily partnered with Neil and have three kids and two granddaughters.

Qualifying in 2005, I’m excited to use our advanced technology, like Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging, to protect your eyes. There's no other device like Optomap in Ellesmere Port or Chester 😊.

I’m very fortunate to work with a knowledgeable, committed, and friendly team.

Seeing the smile on your face with your new prescription is a great sensation.

At home, my significant other is Krina, and we have two young children, Nikhil and Amaya. They keep us on our toes!

When time allows, I enjoy running, playing squash, and fly fishing for trout in N Ireland.

I'm a fully qualified Diabetic Retinal Screener, after 2 years of hard work & study!  

I also make sure people feel relaxed coming for their eye exams. I use the latest scanning technology to ensure your most thorough eye examination.

​I’m very organised and detest clutter, and will clear out any drawers at work that have become a mess! Ashley will attest to this!

I last worked for Spa Medica. The skills I learned there transfer well to Orrell Opticians. I picked up quite a few things; having seen cataract surgery performed every day for 4 years!

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my partner Joe, my family & friends. My free time goes on visiting all my favourite restaurants and watching Liverpool!
I love my days out, but at the same time, my chilled-out Sundays are the best.

Besides that, I use my creative skills to decorate our windows and design floral displays for the practice.

I'm also Editor in Chief of our practice newsletter, The View!

Before Orrell Opticians I worked as a pharmacy dispenser. Prior to that I was a retail manager for 16 years.  I have had many side hustles over the years from teaching Zumba to making hair bows.  I like to keep busy, especially in creative ways.

I am married to Dom who is a science teacher. He puts up with my endless crafting and general creative mess! We have two amazing teenage children Harrison and Annabelle who are our world. Not forgetting my favourite child, Barkley the dog! ​

When I’m not at work I love to spend time with my family and friends. My passion is crafting, which involves covering our dining table with stuff at all times. Anything that involves glitter I’m in!

I look forward to giving you warm welcome when you next pay us a visit!

I have a research optometry background having previously worked for a medical technology company. My Masters in Optometry has enabled me to explore an area of optometry I am very interested in, glaucoma. I am also on the clinical teaching staff at the University of Manchester.

When you see me around the practice, you will probably notice my statement glasses choices. If I have the pleasure seeing you for an eye test, I will usually chat to you about holidays. Outside of Orrell's, I'm usually at the gym powerlifting or in the kitchen baking.
