More recently, he held the role of Director for the Specsavers Chard store in Somerset.

"I have been overwhelmed at the warm welcome we have received and I look forward to continuing to provide the highest possible standards of eye and audiology services to the local community," said Mr Watson of his appointment. 

Mr Todd joined Specsavers in 2009, working as a pre-registration optometrist in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. He has held a variety of roles within the company, including Lead Optometrist for the Torquay store and as a Director in Teignmouth. 

"It is with great pleasure that I am able to join the leadership team in Guernsey, and I look forward to future success with the store," said Mr Todd.
