Blankstone Opticians have some great news and offers for the new winter season.

As we move into a new season, new collections and trends are available for Autumn/Winter.

We now have new brands that are new to Liverpool as well as Blankstone Opticians from Tom Davis, Koali, Oga, Urband and Jacob Jenson. Kids are not forgotten either as we have brand new collections from Barbie, The Simpsons, Superman or Action Man, which makes wearing glasses for kids a lot more fun.

Don’t forget Kids eye test are FREE ON THE NHS!

Late Night Shopping.

You can hear the faint sound of bells, the weather has definitely turned colder and it doesn’t matter how hard we try not to, we are all thinking of Christmas. To make things a little easier for you we are staying open every Thursday until 7pm from the 15th November.

Christmas Gift Ideas.

To complement our designer brands and to try and offer our customers some help with Christmas gift ideas we are offering unique gift ideas until 1st January, which includes gift sets for him and her, which includes a pair of spectacles or sunglasses plus a bottle of perfume (Armani, Prada, or Gucci) at a combined 10% discount on RRP, or you can play safe and buy gift vouchers.

Little Earth.

We are stocking a number of accessories exclusive to Blankstone Opticians from the designer, Little Earth. All the products are eco-friendly as they are made from recycled materials, but you would never know as they are completely fabulous. They include Swarovski encrusted hand bags, bottle top belts, CD holders and photo albums. Pop in store and have a look, it’s worth it.

A Note from Mark Blankstone.

Well we are fast approaching the end of another year and it’s been an exciting one. Thanks to our clients we won an award at the Liverpool Business Oscars - Retailer of the Year, we had a visit from Mrs Bin Laden and made a splash (literally) at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament with the players, in particular, Bjorn Borg. To top it all off we celebrated our 15th Anniversary, something I am most proud of, our success is due to the loyalty of our clients, and I am grateful to you all and hope you will continue to support us.

Following the successful launch of Liverpool Science Park’s Seminar Programme last month, we are pleased to announce the second in the series ‘FUTURE FUNDING YOUR COMPANY - HOW TO GET IT’ to take place on Wednesday 14 November starting at 12 noon.

The seminar is designed to address crucial funding issues relevant to small and growing companies (please see the full programme below).

We expect a high turn-out for this important seminar so please RSVP early to Sarah.Gudgeon@liverpoolsciencepark.co.uk - and we look forward to seeing you there.
