Lauren Painter
Optical Hearing Assistant
I joined Leightons Opticians & Hearing Care late in 2019. I chose to work in the industry as I enjoy working with customers and providing excellent service. I love the fashion element in spectacles, and I love being able to help customers find the perfect glasses that they love too. In my spare time I'm either riding my motorbikes, working on vintage cars or playing with my family's kittens Thomas and Timmy. I'm also working towards my licence in Falconry.
