Originally starting as a locum in 1995, Kay was employed as an optometrist at Specsavers Leicester a year later. Fast forward two years and she became practice director there in 1998. In 2007, she transferred to Specsavers Wigston where she has led the team there ever since.<\/p>\n

During her time as pratice director, Kay has developed strong working relationships with many customers but one, in particular, stands out. Mrs. Sandra Fletcher has remained loyal to Kay for 25 years, even following her to Wigston all those years ago.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s an incredible feeling to have been part of the Specsavers family for 25 years,\u2019 says Kay. \u2018In some ways I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been that long, and in others, it feels like yesterday. I\u2019ve got to know so many customers over the years and to still be seeing Mrs Fletcher after all this time is brilliant. It\u2019s been such an amazing journey and I\u2019m so proud to work for a company that values both staff and customers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kay\u2019s daughter Ashni, 24, has also joined the team at Specsavers Wigston on Bell Street as a qualified optometrist and has recently become practice manager.<\/p>\n

\u2018I remember when Kay was pregnant with her first child, Ashni,\u2019 says Mrs Fletcher. \u2018It is lovely to see them both working alongside each other and it\u2019s great to have a catch-up with Kay when I come for my eye examinations.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
