Funding from UKSE creates a spectacle


A unique opticians, which offers customers access to innovative eyewear including 100% sustainable glasses made out of recycled ocean plastics, has launched in Barnsley thanks to a funding boost from UK Steel Enterprise. Jacks Eyewear offers a relaxed


eyewear studio and mobile appointment service to provide clients with tailored eye-care services and high-quality spectacles. Launched in April 2019, founder


David Jackson used the £5,000 investment from UKSE - an organisation tasked with supporting growing businesses in communities affected by changes in the steel industry – to launch the company’s website. The funds also went towards


buying in stock from a wide selection of brands including Ray Ban, Oakley and Stepper; as well as British manufacturer Banton Frameworks, Bird Eyewear and Sea2see which uses recycled ocean plastic to create its products. With over 20 years of experience working within independently run


opticians as well as industry leading organisations, David is a fully qualified Dispensing Optician and specialises in youth and child spectacle fitting as well as low vision assessments and solutions. David said: “The funding from


UKSE has been instrumental in allowing me to take Jacks Eyewear to the next level. “Jacks Eyewear is


‘My clients


different to the typical opticians you may find on the high street because we work to provide tailored performance and quality eyewear, specialising in children’s spectacles as well as providing eyewear for sports enthusiasts who may require a more bespoke solution. We use industry leading brands to also help promote new, upcoming and innovative frame manufacturers. “My clients benefit from a one-


to-one service in a relaxed atmosphere where they can learn about the different brands, frames


benefit from a one-to-one service in a relaxed


atmosphere’

and lenses in order to choose a pair of spectacles


that really work for them. “Eye examinations are extremely important health checks but not everyone wants to buy their eyewear just when their examinations are due or in the same clinical environment. Jacks provides a more comfortable environment in which to tailor your eyewear needs and requirements.”


Investment Manager at UKSE,


Matthew Stewart, added: “David’s offering of bespoke visual solutions and products on a mobile basis is unlike any other offering in Barnsley and it was our pleasure to provide funding to support the business. “Its excellent to see that the


funding has contributed to the successes of Jacks to date and I have no doubt that it will continue to thrive within the region.”
