A STAFF development manager at local opticians Haine & Smith has celebrated her 10th anniversary at the firm.

Angela Davey, who in January won the Employee of the Year award, joined the team in the spring of 1994.

She joined as a trainee dispensing optician at the Calne practice before going on to manage a number of the partnership's 18 practices including Marlborough and her current practice in Melksham after qualifying in 1997.

In her role as staff development manager Angela is responsible for all staff training and opportunities both internally and professionally.

Haine & Smith senior partner Barry Smith said: "Angela has been tremendously impressive during the last year. She has contributed largely to us retaining our Investor in People status.

"She works incredibly hard and has become a great asset to Haine & Smith."

Haine & Smith has branches across Wiltshire, including several in the Swindon area.
