Andrew Jelley is set to retire from Andrew Jelley Opticians, based in Bromyard and Tenbury Wells, after making the decision to hang his retinoscope up for the final time and embark on a move to North Wales to be closer to his family. Mr Jelley said it had been a "privilege" being part of both communities since he arrived 40 years ago as a fresh-faced young optician with his wife, Louise. Mr Jelley has revealed that his successors, Alex and Rebecca Lane, will be taking on the business. Mr and Mrs Lane thanked Mr Jelley for his decades of "dedication, care, and commitment to our communities", adding that the friendly faces, independent values and outstanding service that have always defined Andrew Jelley Opticians will remain unchanged. They added: "While we'll certainly miss seeing Andrew in practice, we're delighted that Andrew Jelley Opticians will continue exactly as our patients know and trust."
