Mr and Mrs Mincher-Lockett established the practice's core values of excellence in customer care and optometry, which became well-known in Stafford and Gnosall. In 2006, Mincher-Lockett Opticians saw a change in ownership as its original owners stepped back and Sarah Edge and Jan Goodwin took the reins. With a collective history of working at the practice for 30 years, Jan and Sarah set out to grow the business to include new services and facilities for its patients - whilst still retaining the practice's rich history in customer care.
