25 Years ago, Stuart Gibbs opened the first branch of Spectacular Opticians in March, Cambridgeshire. Joined by his brothers, and building on the success of this, branches in Downham Market, Newmarket, Chatteris and Ely followed. Together Stuart and Gareth, both Optometrists, and Martin, an Ophthalmologist, have built a thriving family run business with a passion for delivering the highest level of customer care.
Today, Spectacular Opticians continues to be very family orientated. Alongside Stuart, Martin and Gareth, John Attrill, Helen Attrill and David Nash complete the Professional Optometric team. From our dispensers to our reception staff, many of our team have been with us for a large part of our story so far. Please take a moment to read through our some of our professional staff biographies and get to know us better!

He graduated with an honours degree, as a Bachelor of Science, from the City University in London in 1985.
Continuing to work in the City of London and at the University of London, for a further two years, allowed him to gain a wide-ranging experience in the management of both routine and more complicated refractive problems and to develop a specialist interest in the fitting and management of all types of contact lens.
The success and subsequent expansion of the business is largely due to Stuart's energy and passion for his profession and, under his guiding hand, the business now stands at five very successful and highly regarded practices.
