An apprentice at an Arnold branch of Specsavers has wowed his employers after completing the scheme with a coveted distinction – the top grade for the qualification.

Kalen Burns has been studying an optical assistant apprenticeship, including coursework and exams alongside working at Specsavers on Front Street.

“We’re very proud of Kalen’s hard work,” said Specsavers Arnold store director Vineet Nehra.

“At Specsavers, we offer a range of apprenticeships and work-based learning, and it’s fantastic to see our team members reach such success.”
