It’s the first week of Melina Joy Opticians without Melina and we wanted to reassure you that, except from Melina, we are all still here! David and Catriona are continuing to run the business and there are no immediate plans to make any changes.
We are still in the middle of Heathfield High Street.
We are still called Melina Joy Opticians.
We are still open Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm and Saturday 8.30 – 1.15pm.
In case you’re still not sure, Catriona is the Dispensing Optician, slim, short blond hair, who was hand picked by Melina and has worked at the practice since 1996 and Dave is the ‘always-laughing’ Optometrist who when he started in 2007 had loads of long hair! (He has since had it cut!). Catriona and Dave have been running the company alongside Melina since they became Directors in 2015.
As a team we are determined to keep the business going from strength to strength, so please continue to call and book appointments with Anna on reception, come in and have a thorough eye examination with Dave, Joanne or James and enjoy choosing new fabulous glasses with either Catriona, Jane, Danuta or Claire.
We will continue to provide ‘Exceptional Eyecare and Individual Eyewear’ with our high level of personalised customer care and friendly welcome.
Melina’s last week in clinic was celebrated in many ways: on Thursday we had home-baked muffins and Nosecco as the last tea break with most of us present, on Friday night we all went out for a fabulous evening of murder and mystery.
All ten of us dressed up in 1920’s evening wear went to The Mercure Hotel and enjoyed delicious food and drink. The actors from Murder 57 really made the evening great fun but being together was by far the best bit! Melina loved it!
And don’t forget we are having a knees up at the end of November to say goodbye to Melina and Hello to James, our new Optometrist.
If you can come to our celebration, let us know (RSVP to reception@melinajoy.co.uk) so we can plan for the right numbers!
