| Author Short CV(s) : |
Paul Andrew Bullock:Coming to optics from a Bio-sciences background I began my optical career in retail optics, working for a variety of independent and multiple practices. I then moved to a support and development position within these multiples focusing on operations and strategic management along with technical optical training and development.
I joined Hoya in 2008 as Regional In-Store Training Manager with responsibilities for developing technical skills and providing support to my fellow optical professionals.
In 2009 I became Professional Services Manager for Hoya Lens UK with responsibilities including creating and delivering CET presentations to universities and optical professionals
