SPECSAVERS in Hove has won a prestigious business accreditation for its dedication to the ongoing development of its staff.

The George Street store has been awarded Specsavers’ externally-ratified Platinum Employer status, which sets high standards to be met across staff wellbeing and career development.

The demanding assessment process requires evidence that a number of policies and procedures are in place and also includes interviews with staff from optical assistants to directors.

The Hove opticians scored highly across the scheme’s five standards.
