Meet the team
Woodhouse Opticians is a family business and we’ve been helping other families from our practice in Highfield Road in the South Shore area of Blackpool for more than five decades.
The business was established in 1962 by Leslie Woodhouse and his wife Rosa. His son, Stephen, is now at the helm and is the full-time optometrist.
As the saying goes, we were built to last. Our dedicated, friendly and qualified team have many years of combined service with Woodhouse meaning they understand both our customers and the best ways to help them.
Stephen Woodhouse
Stephen celebrates 40 years in charge at Woodhouse this year. He studied at Aston University and London’s City and East College before returning to the family business.
He said: “It’s important for us to provide a circle of care for our customers which sets us apart; clinical excellence, technical expertise and fantastic customer service.
Sukie said: “We have customers who live away from the area and who always come back here for their eye checks, even as far as Spain! And we have many customers who bring their whole family in. We’re very proud that over the years they’ve obviously come to trust in us and what we do.”
She said: “We have the flexibility to offer individually tailored, exceptional customer care. We know our customers as individuals, we are not just part of some huge machine. We have clinical excellence in Steve, we trust our family’s eye care to him and no one else.”
Abigail is a member of the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO).
He said: “I’m proud of being part of a great team and that we are an independent opticians which is part of the community.”
