Meet Elizabeth – Optical Assistant at The Spectacle Factory

At The Spectacle Factory, a leading optical practice in Bamber Bridge, Preston; we’re proud to have a passionate team dedicated to delivering exceptional eye care. One of those team members is Elizabeth, our friendly and knowledgeable Optical Assistant.

Elizabeth joined us in August 2024, bringing warmth, energy, and a love for helping people into our practice. She plays a vital role in delivering seamless service - from pre-testing for eye exams and dispensing prescription glasses, to assisting in our on-site lab and handling day-to-day administrative duties.

Previously a Wedding and Events Manager, Elizabeth made a bold career change into the optical industry, and she’s never looked back. With the support of our team, she has learned quickly and now thrives in her role, offering expert guidance and a genuine passion for eyewear styling.

She particularly loves helping clients find glasses that not only improve their vision but also enhance their personal style. “The most rewarding part of my job is knowing I’ve made a real difference in someone’s life,” she says.

When she's not in the practice, Elizabeth enjoys traveling—including a memorable backpacking trip through Mexico—and hiking in the scenic outdoors of Lancashire.
