Whitakers Opticians has been an independently owned, family run business since 1932. Following a health scare in 2014-15, Jonathan Whitaker (the third generation of the Whitaker family to own the business) took the immense decision to sell the practice. He was delighted when two long standing professional members of staff, David Armitage and Richard Barker, agreed to purchase the business as he knew that David and Richard would continue to work tirelessly to maintain the reputation of Whitakers Opticians, built over the past 80 years.
