UltraVision is thrilled to announce that, with over 50% of the votes, Josie Barlow, Clinical Services Advisor, has won ‘Supplier of the Year Award’ at the 2011 Association of Optometrists (AOP) Awards.
Josie won against some very tough competition and is obviously over the moon, “I couldn’t believe it; I was stunned, overwhelmed and humbled. It is amazing that people think so much of me. It’s just amazing! A huge thanks to everyone who voted for me.”
Josie’s AOP nomination highlights the high regard in which she is held within the Optical community. Jane Smellie from Jane Smellie Opticians, Shropshire, commented “Josie has been key to the development of my business and the specialist services we provide. In the last 12 years she has supported me through the fitting of many challenging patients. Her constant encouragement, support and incredible knowledge has been invaluable in building my confidence and my reputation as a specialist contact lens fitter.”
The awards were presented by AOP Chief Executive, Bob Hughes, and Chairman, David Shannon, at the recent National Optometry Conference (NOC) gala dinner. The NOC is organised by the AOP, which is the leading professional organisation in the UK for Optometrists, with more than 10,000 members.
